Academics / Graduate Study / Special ProgramsMS Concentration in Mechanical Design, Biomaterials, and Robotics
The Biomedical Engineering MS Concentration in Mechanical Design, Biomaterials, and Robotics provides an opportunity to specialize in Mechanical Engineering foundations that interact with biomedical engineering in research and industry roles. Students who complete this concentration gain skills in computer-aided design, mechatronics, and mechanical simulation skills, while being aware of the biological responses to implanted medical devices.

FAQ
Q: Am I able to take courses that are not part of the Graduate School as part of this concentration?
A: MS without thesis students are required to take a total of 12 courses to fulfill MS degree requirements. Nine of the 12 must be part of the Graduate School (TGS) career track; therefore, MS Course-Only students who follow the Translational Concentration are able to take up to 3 courses outside of the Graduate School. All plans of study must be approved by the Director of the MS Program prior to enrolling in the courses. MS Thesis students are required to take 9 courses to fulfill MS degree requirements; therefore, all three courses for the Translational Concentration must be part of TGS course career or students will be required to take additional TGS courses to fulfill the MS degree requirements.
