BME+CpE students learn to develop/design/enhance technologies that harness electrical signals into technologies that support health –design medical instruments that image and/diagnose/treat illnesses; detect threats to food safety and security; utilize biosensors to diagnose cancer cells.
The BME+CpE pathway will enable you to design hardware and software interfaces that solve problems in the healthcare industry. For example, developing or designing software for medical devices, applications, and robotics. The merging of these two fields provides students with a wealth of areas in which to work.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of biomedical engineers is projected to grow 6% from 2020 to 2030, about as fast as the average of all occupations. However, employment of computer engineers is projected to grow only 2% from 2020 to 2030.
Colorado State University bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering (BME) combined with Computer Engineering (CpE) provides graduates with skillsets to understand the interplay between hardware and software to drive new technologies and engineer solutions to problems of human and animal health. The BME+CpE pathway at CSU provides students with two bachelor’s degrees within 5 years.
