Envision devices that help people live healthy lives — then design and produce them.
What do the hyper-customizable Iambic Model T sneakers have in common with a microfluidic chip device used to diagnose cervical cancer?
Both are examples of Seawolf ingenuity in the field of Biomedical Engineering! Biomedical Engineering (BME) bridges healthcare and engineering to innovate life-saving medical solutions and to improve people's quality of life.
Led by the co-director of Stony Brook's undergraduate BME program, this course will provide a comprehensive introduction to the field. You'll explore the role biomedical engineers play in finding innovative solutions to advance the field of health care.
You'll also gain a variety of technical skills and knowledge in anatomy, AI/machine learning, identifying clinical unmet needs, engineering design process with prototyping using 3D modeling, scanning and printing, microcontroller programming, and more.

Experiential Learning
This course will engage you in many hands-on activities related to the filed of Biomedical Engineering. You'll experience BME research and development by:
- Looking at your own brainwaves (EEG) and other biosignals, and designing a wearable health technology by blending aesthetics and utility.
- Learning about anatomy and prototyping customized health technology with 3D design, 3D scanning, 3D printing, microcontroller programming and electronics.
- Applying AI and machine learning in BME, with introductory Python programming and statistics.
- Applying an "iterative" engineering design process to solve clinical problems.
- Exploring a variety of career paths from BME, and translational clinical research examples that go from the lab to the market.
