HPU launches biomedical engineering program

BROWNWOOD – May 26, 2023年的今天,ebet真人娱乐厅宣布了一个新的四年制生物医学工程项目. The major, scheduled to begin this fall, 在最近的校董会会议上获得了校董会的一致通过.

该课程的毕业生将获得生物医学工程学士学位. Students will develop skills in biomedical measurements, medical signal and image acquisition and processing, biomedical prosthetics and robotics, as well as sports technologies. 生物医学工程专业将通过HPU科学与数学学院的工程系提供. Other departments will collaborate in the curriculum of the major, including the Departments of Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences and Kinesiology.

“新的生物医学工程理学学士学位是HPU致力于提供高质量服务的又一体现, 以ebet真人娱乐厅的高等教育是前瞻性的,让学生在毕业后在劳动力中脱颖而出,” said Dr. Cory Hines, HPU president. “I am grateful for the visionary leadership of Dr. Martin Mintchev, Dr. Kristen Hutchins and Dr. Gerry Clarkson in helping bring this program to fruition.”

Dr. Martin Mintchev, chair of the Department of Engineering, 工程学教授,美国医学与生物工程学会会员, 他说,新的合作项目将侧重于工程和生物医学之间的重要技术联系,并将使毕业生具备从医院和临床设备的技术支持和维护到通过知识产权开发生物医学技术的突破性创新的技能.

生物医学工程是将工程原理和解决问题的技术应用于生物学和生物医学, which, in their broad utilization, 也能在技术上促进当代生物医学科学,” said Dr. Mintchev. “It also includes the development of associated skills in designing, operating and maintaining complex biomedical systems.”

Dr. 明切夫对该大学致力于新项目表示感谢.

“批准证明了ebet真人娱乐厅致力于提供深入的, 为未来的毕业生提供现代化的abet生物医学工程教育,” he said. “这些毕业生不仅能够在毕业后立即响应该领域对专业人员的需求, but also to continue their education towards graduate studies, if they choose so.”

Dr. Donnie Auvenshine, vice president for academic affairs, said the program was developed with student needs in mind.

“生物医学工程项目是学术部门合作为21世纪提供项目的一个很好的例子st-century marketplace,” Dr. Auvenshine said. “Prospective students have been asking if HPU has this program. 当我们将当代对生物医学工程的兴趣与我们在工程项目中使用的基于项目的方法结合起来时, 看到我们的学生能够构思和构建什么将是非常有趣的.”

In 2022, the U.S. 美国劳工统计局(Bureau of Labor Statistics)预计,到2031年,生物医学工程岗位的数量将增长10%.

Dr. Kristen Hutchins, chair of HPU’s Department of Biological Sciences, 生物学教授和即将上任的科学与数学学院院长, 表达了她对新项目的热情,以及它将如何帮助学生为这一特定的职业道路做好准备.

“这个学位允许对工程和医学领域都感兴趣的学生将两者结合起来, hands-on education for their future profession,” Dr. Hutchins said. “Our Department of Biological Sciences is excited to be a part of it.”

From the perspective of Dr. Gerry Clarkson, 科学与数学学院院长,物理科学副教授, 跨部门的合作对学生的学习成绩尤其有利.

生物医学工程专业是我们为HPU学生开设的项目中一个令人兴奋的补充. Clarkson. “在所有相关部门的合作下,在李博士的领导下. Mintchev, 这门课程的学习将为学生在一个有许多职业机会的领域的未来做好准备.”

HPU正在接受2023年秋季学期的入学申请. 有兴趣申请的学生可致电325-649-8020或联系招生办公室 enroll@selenaumbrella.net or visit sonhs.selenaumbrella.net/apply.
