Master of Science Program
Industry-Oriented MS Program Biomedical Engineering Specialized in Medical Device Design
A customer-focused product development curriculum
Each summer, the Center for Medical Technology and Innovation welcomes a new cohort of Master’s students into our program. Our program is crafted to provide students with the essential skills and knowledge necessary for transition into the biomedical industry workforce. At the heart of our mission is a commitment to direct engagement with the customer, most often the surgeon, throughout the entirety of the product development journey. Mastering the art of collaboration with surgeons is a coveted skill sought after by companies, that is typically limited to senior engineers with years of experience.

Alumni Testimonials
"I firmly believe the invaluable clinical experiences from CMTI propelled me to join the pharmaceutical industry to reach patients and be part of a journey to solving clinical needs."
"The curriculum was comprehensive yet flexible and tailored, and I lean on it daily. You can't help but be awed by the cutting-edge technology you see in action and the top clinical staff performing their craft. That said, sometimes the low-tech solutions are the ones that stand out in the OR! Every minute was packed with insights and lessons that I am grateful to have been privy to."
"A driving reason behind why I chose the CMTI program over others is that it allowed me to experience the OR space while witnessing some revolutionary devices in action like the Micra pacemaker and Da Vinci Robot. Unexpectedly, I found myself going into a career path where I am in the OR space as a clinical specialist."
“The OR rotations were the reason I chose the CMTI program - having the opportunity to observe live procedures and speaking with the surgeons to get direct voice of the customer feedback was an invaluable experience to say the least."
