Master of Biomedical Imaging and Signals

The purpose of this degree program is to prepare students for leading edge positions in industry in the areas of biomedical imaging and signal processing. The professional Master of Biomedical Imaging and Signals is a course-only degree program that prepares students for professional practice.

The interdisciplinary nature of bioengineering generally involves many facets of electrical and computer engineering. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers several courses and research opportunities that engage students interested in biomedical engineering. In addition, there are a significant number of courses offered by the Department of Biomedical Engineering and other disciplines at the university which are of great importance to students interested in the professional master’s degree in biomedical engineering, with specialization in medical imaging and bio-signals.

The admission requirements for the degree follow the existing admission requirements for other professional master’s degrees in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Students whose accredited B.S. degree is not in electrical and computer engineering may pursue the professional master’s degree provided that they have an adequate background and can demonstrate proficiency in the material contained in undergraduate courses equivalent to Illinois Institute of Technology’s:

A student may demonstrate proficiency by successfully completing the courses or by demonstrating satisfactory performance in one or more special examinations administered by the department.

Students can pursue a professional master’s degree in the area of biomedical imaging and signals by completing the required core and elective courses, including at least two ECE and one BME elective courses.

Curriculum

With adviser’s approval, students may take up to two senior (400-level) or graduate level courses in engineering, math, or science.
