Biomedical Engineering - Undergraduate Minor

The Biomedical Engineering minor-of-study is a 20-credit hour program of study designed to accomplish two objectives: 

  1. Require courses in basic biology, anatomy, physiology to provide students a basic understanding of life and the design and mechanics/dynamics of the human body. Also required is the only biomedical engineering course taught on the NMSU campus.
  2. Permit students to select from a wide range of elective courses (https://chme.nmsu.edu/academics/minors/biomedical-engineering/) numbered above 400 that emphasize engineering topics with application to the design and development of medical devices.
