Accreditation
Our undergraduate program in Biomedical Engineering is not yet accredited, but is seeking accreditation in the near future.  Toward that end, we have developed, in consultation with our constituencies, educational objectives for our Biomedical Engineering Program.

Program Educational Objectives for Biomedical Engineering

Preamble: Graduates of the Biomedical Engineering Program of the UH Cullen College of Engineering obtain employment in a wide variety of biomedical engineering fields. Many further their education to pursue careers in research, medicine, business, law, or other areas. Regardless of the career path they choose, we believe that an education in biomedical engineering will prepare them for a productive professional experience, and we strive to provide them with the technical, team-working, communication, and professional skills necessary for success.

We establish the following Program Educational Objectives.

1. Our graduates will be prepared to pursue advanced studies in biomedical engineering or in other disciplines if they so choose.
2. Our graduates will meet or exceed the expectations of their employers in the biomedical engineering workplace, or in other professional careers of their choosing.
3. Our graduates will engage in self-development activities that will allow them to adapt to evolving technical challenges and changing career opportunities.

Program Outcomes for Biomedical Engineering

We have developed, in consultation with our constituencies, the following program outcomes for our Biomedical Engineering Program.

The Biomedical Engineering Program at the University of Houston will demonstrate that students attain:

1. an ability to apply knowledge of advanced mathematics, science, and engineering
2. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to obtain, analyze, and interpret data from living and non-living systems.
3. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints
4. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
5. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve problems at the interface of engineering and biology.
6. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
7. an ability to communicate effectively
8. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of biomedical engineering solutions in a global and societal context
9. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
10. a knowledge of contemporary issues
11. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for biomedical engineering practice
