Biomedical Engineering
The Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering is an Interdisciplinary Degree Program that is jointly administered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
Biomedical Engineering is developing state-of-the-art technologies on bioinstrumentation, bio signal and image processing, numeric and high performance computing. The goal of ECE in biomedical engineering is to conduct research to enable (1) development of biosensors, wearable antenna, image processing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, Internet-of-Things (IoT); (2) collaborate with medical personnel in hospitals and assisted living facilities; (3) development of numeric and high performance computing techniques for medical diagnostics. Baylor biomedical engineering is a multidisciplinary effort lead by faculty in Biomedical Engineering in biosensor devices and systems, numeric and high performance computing, and artificial intelligence and medical diagnostics.
Courses will be selected in consultation with the student’s advisor. Courses in the departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Environmental Science may be included in this total with consent of the advisor.
Thesis Option: A discovery-oriented thesis is required in accordance with the criteria listed in the graduate catalog general requirements. The 30-hour program includes 24 hours of course work and 6 hours for the thesis.
Non-Thesis Option: A 3 credit hour MS-level project to be completed under the supervision of an ECS graduate faculty member that results in a project report submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The 30-hour program also includes 27 hours of course work.
News
The degree, housed in the School of Engineering and Computer Science, will launch in Fall 2026 and build upon Baylor’s established strengths in mechanical engineering and electrical and computer engineering.
