Current degree programs include the BSE, MS, ME, combined BS/MS, PhD, MD/MS, and MD/PhD in Biomedical Engineering. In all of the BME programs at Case, the goal is to educate engineers who can apply engineering methods to problems involving living systems. The Case School of Engineering and the School of Medicine are in close proximity on the same campus, and all Biomedical Engineering faculty members carry joint appointments in both of these two schools, participating in the teaching, research, and decision-making committees of both. The department is also tightly linked with several major nearby medical centers (University Hospitals, Cleveland Clinic, VA Medical Center, and MetroHealth Medical Center). Most faculty pursue research in collaboration with researchers and physicians in these institutions, and all of the Biomedical Engineering educational programs take advantage of these close relationships. The Biomedical Engineering department has established the Biomedical Engineering Alliance with the Department of Biomedical Engineering in the Lerner Research Institute of the Cleveland Clinic, resulting in a very large faculty cohort, research activities that are broad and deep, and strong cooperation on moving discoveries into products that improve health.
Graduates in biomedical engineering are employed in industry, hospitals, research centers, government, and universities. Biomedical engineers also use their undergraduate training as a basis for careers in business, medicine, law, consulting, and other professions.
Several research thrusts are available to accommodate various student backgrounds and interests. Strong research collaborations with clinical and basic science departments of the university and collaborating medical centers bring a broad range of opportunities, expertise, and perspective to student research projects.
