All accomplishments in Biomedical Engineering go here. Please keep it objective information we can use. Opinions won't win an argument. _________________ - Justin Mikowski

"The undergraduate program, originally ABET accredited in 1981, is now the largest major in the School of Engineering with approximately 200 undergraduates, and 40 graduate students. The Biomedical Engineering program represents one of Tulane's areas of excellence, achieving “top ten” recognition in the most recent Gourman study of Biomedical Engineering programs, and national recognition in other periodic surveys."

Research and Design Experiences
Hallmarks of our curriculum are the research and design experiences that are coordinated through the two semester sequences in Professional Practice and Design (490, 491) and Team Design (403, 404). Every student participates in an individual research project as well as a team design project.
The team design projects, which are supported by the National Science Foundation and the Joe W. and Dorothy Dorsett Brown Foundation, are tailored to the needs of individuals with disabilities who are referred to the department by several community agencies. The team designs are evaluated for safety and then presented and judged in a public design competition. The class of 2005 completed 12 team projects (generally four students per team) and a list and brief description is included in the Appendix. The team design experience of working for an extended period with a handicapped client—while having the opportunity to apply engineering foundations and real world design and construction skills to assist the client—has been extremely rewarding for our students.
In addition to the team design project, each student participates in an individual year-long research project generally with a biomedical engineering faculty member or with faculty in departments of the Tulane or LSU medical schools. The list of research projects completed by the class of 2005 covers an impressive range of activities. The students thus have substantial research experience—while still undergraduates—that includes writing a comprehensive thesis describing the research performed and an oral presentation of the work to the faculty and fellow students during the annual “Undergraduate Research Day Conference.”
