The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of engineering and knowledge of applications to the field of Biomedical Engineering. Therefore, the undergraduate program in Biomedical Engineering focuses first on core engineering course work, followed by advanced applications specific to the field of Biomedical Engineering. To maintain a core understanding in engineering, the program is divided into two tracks: Biomechanics; and Instrumentation, Signals and Imaging. The Biomechanics track is designed for those students who would pursue a Mechanical Engineering background with specialization in the areas of cardiovascular, orthopaedic, rehabilitation engineering and system simulations. The Instrumentation, Signals and Imaging track is designed for those students who wish to pursue an Electrical Engineering background with specialization in biomedical instrumentation, signal and image processing, imaging devices and detectors and system simulations.

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at The University of Akron offers programs leading to Master's and Doctoral degrees in Engineering. The Graduate Program offers two separate specialization tracks: 1) Biomechanics and 2) Instrumentation, Signals and Imaging. This track format allows students to concentrate their studies and research in a particular area of interest. Over 30 graduate level courses have been developed in these two areas of specialization.
