Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University

Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University Columbia University's Department of Biomedical Engineering is at the Forefront of Converging Health and Engineering

As a Top 10 Biomedical Engineering Program, boasting a 1:4 faculty to undergraduate student ratio, with 60% of M.S. students participating in research, and more than 30 startups launched by students and faculty since 2014, Columbia BME is the place to be. The programs in biomedical engineering at Columbia (B.S., M.S., Ph.D., Eng.Sc.D., and M.D./Ph.D.) prepare students to apply engineering and appl

ied science to problems in biology, medicine, and the understanding of living systems and their behavior, and to develop biomedical systems and devices. The programs offered in the Department of Biomedical Engineering seek to emphasize the confluence of basic engineering science and applied engineering with the physical and biological sciences, particularly in the areas of biomechanics, cell and tissue engineering, and biosignals and biomedical imaging.

Last week, our senior design students showcased their year-long projects. We'll be highlighting each project to give you an inside look at the future of biomedical engineering.

First up, O2-Matic, a simpler ventilation system and upgrade from the Bag-Valve Mask. This product lets caretakers focus on the patient instead of squeezing a bag.🫁
