For those students with primary interest in research, the PhD in Biomedical Engineering provides additional depth and breadth in engineering and the biomedical sciences. Under faculty guidance, students are expected to undertake original research motivated by a biomedical problem. Research possibilities include the development of new theory, devices, or methods for diagnostic or therapeutic applications as well as for measurement and evaluation of basic biological mechanisms.
The PhD program requires a minimum of 13 courses beyond the BS degree. There are four required core courses (EBME 403, 409, 451, 452). The balance of the courses can be chosen with significant flexibility to meet the career goals of the student, and to satisfy requirements of depth and breadth. Programs of study must include three graduate level courses in biomedical sciences and two courses whose content is primarily mathematical. Two semesters of departmental seminar attendence (EBME 611, 612) and three semesters of teaching experience (EBME 400T, 500T, 600T) are also required. PhD programs of study are reviewed and must be accepted by the Graduate Education Committee and the department chairperson. Eighteen hours of EBME 701 registration are required.
PhD candidacy requires passing certain milestones. The first is the department qualifying exam. The second is writing a research proposal and defending it in an oral exam. PhD candidacy also requires completion of the MS degree, or a waiver of the MS requirement based on the acceptance of a peer-reviewed scientific manuscript. The PhD is completed when the dissertation has been written and defended, and when at least two manuscripts have been submitted for publication and at least one of the two is accepted.
