Biomedical Engineering News

I was trying to find Biomedical Engineering magazines to subscribe too. Frankly most of them were too expensive for a college student to subscribe too. I might try to get my adviser to subscribe to them and put them in the office.

Here are some of the biomedical engineering related magazines that i found:

• Bioscience Technology

Actually I only found that one. I will try to look more and find other good magazines.

Following is a limited number of universities that offer biomedical engineering as an undergraduate major. This list does not include ALL the universities (only the more well-known ones) and is not in any particular order.

Here are some more resources:

I was studying for my semiconductor exam and part of was on Gummel Plots. I searched the web to find some good resources and articles to read. Here are the most useful websites/page I found:

• Bipolar Junction Transistors
• Gumml Plots (PDF)
• Gummel Plot Books on Amazon

Here are the most common Biomedical Engineering research interests in colleges and universities:

• Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
• Biomedical Imaging and Optics
• Bionanotechnology and Biosensors
• Cardiovascular Physiology & Engineering
• Computational and Systems Biology
• Healthcare Systems Engineering
• Neural Engineering
• Orthopaedic Biomechanics and Implants

Following are some of the better universities that offer Biomedical Engineering (BME) masters and PHD degrees:

• Massachusetts Institute of Technology
• Georgia Tech
• Stanford
• University of Texas at Austin
• Purdue University
• Virginia Tech

Birck Nanotechnology Center is the latest addition to Purdue Universities biomedical engineering buildings. The building was completed in 2005 with a cost of $58 million dollars.

The highlight of the building is the 25,000 square ft. cleanroom.

Birck Nanotechnology center allows researchers from other companies, universities, and national labs to use the facility.

Here is a list of Birck’s key capabilities.

Most of the research at the center is done by Purdue professors and their PHD students. You can find a list of Purdue’s Biomedical Engineering faculty and their research interest here.
