Program Educational Objectives and Student Outcomes
The Program Educational Objectives of the Biomedical Engineering program at the University of Massachusetts Lowell are that our alumni will:
- Actively engage in and make contributions to post-graduate opportunities, whether they are in biomedical engineering practice or other advanced professional training聽
- Demonstrate depth, breadth, and creativity in biomedical engineering, its underlying sciences, and related technologies聽
- Utilize their multidisciplinary background to foster communication across professional and disciplinary boundaries聽
- Demonstrate professional and social responsibilities on health-related issues and the ability to deal knowledgeably and ethically with the impact of technology in our society.聽
The Biomedical Engineering Program has adopted the ABET Criterion 3聽student outcomes so that at graduation, students are expected to have:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics聽
- an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors聽
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences聽
- an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts聽
- an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives聽
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions聽
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
