Biomedical Engineering Technology, associate degree

A patient lies on a hospital bed after a heart attack, waiting for hospital personnel to administer a defibrillator. What if the defibrillator doesn’t work?

A biomedical technician makes sure they do. As a valued member of any hospital or healthcare organization, biomedical technicians make sure medical technology is properly maintained and repaired to ensure every patient receives the best treatment possible. Doctors and nurses aren’t the only hospital personnel who help save people’s lives. Graduates could also work in the medical equipment manufacturing field.

Why choose Biomedical Engineering Technology at С»Æ贫ý?

Biomedical Engineering Technology is a unique area within С»Æ贫ý’s historically strong Electronic Engineering Technology (EET) program. Biomedical Engineering Technology trains students to excel as biomedical electronics technicians through a variety of learning activities in and out of the classroom.

For more than 50 years, our EET program has produced graduates whose superior skills and abilities have helped them obtain excellent jobs and pursue advanced degrees. The difference between Biomedical Engineering Technology and the EET program is small – more than two-thirds of the classes overlap – so you can easily get training in both areas and make yourself more marketable.

• Our diversified courses, coupled with state-of-the-art technology and equipment, offer you a unique and affordable way to learn the skills that enable you to become an engineering technician.
• As a graduate of С»Æ贫ý’s Biomedical Engineering Technology program, you’ll combine the theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and teamwork required to be a valued member of the industry.
• Biomedical Engineering Technology prepares students to pass the recommended Certificate of Biomedical Engineering Technology (CBET) exam.
• Our instructors’ industry experience ensures that you receive training that’s practical, efficient, and effective.
