\"\"<\/p>\n

BME is a Unique and Interdisciplinary Field<\/h3>\n

Biomedical engineering is the fastest growing engineering field right now. We advance diagnostics, analysis of medical conditions, treatment, and recovery \u2013 all to improve patient care.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enjoy physical, chemistry, computer science and math? Interested in biology and medicine? Consider a career in biomedical engineering at UNIST.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”70px” el_class=”empty_70″][vc_column_text el_class=”of_h”]\n

Biomedical engineering is one of the fastest growing engineering discipline.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We apply engineering tools in biological and medical sciences to advance healthcare for today, tomorrow, and beyond. With the broad backgrounds spanning biology, chemistry, medicine, physics, math, computer science, and engineering, BME majored students can work in so many areas \u2013 diagnostics, medicine, therapeutics, materials, devices, nanotechnologies, and many more. Training in UNIST BME will prepare you to tackle today\u2019s challenge and beyond. Together, we can make changes in future healthcare.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"UNIST students takes general courses during their freshman year and can apply to the BME undergraduate program at the end of their 1st year. Take a course \u2018BME to change the world (UNI10701)\u2019 opened for UNIST freshmen. You will see why you must apply for BME undergraduate program!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UNIST BME undergraduate courses begins with core engineering coursework including Engineering Mathematics and Engineering Physiology, followed by cornerstone courses in biomedical fundamentals and applications as well as Biomedical Instrumentation Laboratory and Capstone project which provide strong ground to learn problem-solving, design, and communication skills.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is highly recommended to take Undergraduate Internship Program as part of your curriculum. You can work for research laboratories, companies and receive academic credits.

Academic advisors and Mentoring<\/h3>\n

We believe that close interaction between students and BME faculty advisor is key to success of BME students. Academic advisors help students make important decisions including choosing classes, engaging in research opportunities and discussing career opportunities. All the BME students are assigned BME faculty advisors as they enter the department. We highly encourage students to meet BME faculty advisors each semester. In addition, Ms. Ryu, an academic affairs manager handles the administrative aspects of student advising such as registration and graduation. Resources about information on policies, registration, validation, graduation and so on.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]\n
