Our department emphasizes experiential learning where a majority of the undergraduate students participate in our top-notch co-operative education program, perform undergraduate research, and are also active in regional and national conferences.
The BME department offers interdisciplinary research programs with active collaborations within the university, with other institutions, such as the Cleveland Clinic and Northeast Ohio Medical University, and with local industries. Our research has been supported by funding from the NSF, NIH, DoW, AHA, VA, foundations, and industry.
