BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING OPTION - 2009
Engineering Program
(Associate in Science Degrees):
The Associate of Science in Engineering Program is offered as part of a response to the skill shortages in the engineering workforce, and is consistent with the mission of the College. It is designed to meet the needs of BHCC students and to address the workforce demands of Greater Boston. The curriculum is structured to mirror the freshman and sophomore years of a university engineering degree. Accordingly, the Science Department is developing articulation agreements with area universities to enable BHCC engineering graduates to transfer as juniors, upon completing the Associate of Science degree. The curriculum offers two options: an Engineering Transfer Option and a Biomedical Engineering Option.
Overview
Program ID - AS.BIOEG
The Associate of Science in Engineering Program is offered as part of a response to the long-term shortage of skilled workers in the engineering workforce, and is consistent with the mission of the College. It is designed to meet the needs of BHCC students and to address the workforce demands of Greater Boston. The curriculum is structured to mirror the freshman and sophomore years of a university engineering degree. Accordingly, the Science Department is developing articulation agreements with area universities to enable BHCC engineering graduates to transfer as juniors upon completing the Associate of Science degree. The curriculum offers two options: a Biomedical Engineering Option and an Engineering Transfer Option.
This option brings engineering design and technology into the field of biology and medicine. The option prepares students to transfer to four-year institutions as Biomedical Engineering majors, or for direct employment in entry-level positions.
Career Outlook:
Graduates with an associate of science degree will be
qualified for direct employment in entry-level research/lab
assistant, design and manufacturing positions available in
private industries, academic research institutions, and
hospitals locally and nationwide.
Upon completetion of this option graduates will be able to:
