BME Specialty Sequence: Bioelectric
Engineering
Bioelectric phenomena have become increasingly important in our understanding and control of diseases. Neural and cardiac electrophysiology and engineering are critical to a wide range of biomedical engineering applications and the medical device industry is rapidly expanding in the area of bioelectric-related applications.
Industry and research careers in bioelectric-related applications require a fundamental understanding of bioelectric phenomena, the fundamental molecular basis for bioelectric phenomena and cell excitability, current medical device applications and the medical device industry. This approach is based on feedback from industry, our Industrial Development Advisory Board and graduate schools.
More information on Neural Engineering & Rehabilitation Stimulating the Future of Medicine at Case is available.
Undergraduate Research Opportunities
There are substantial exciting local research opportunities in the areas of neural, rehabilitation and cardiac engineering. There are many primary and associated faculty at Case, University Hospitals, the Cleveland VA Medical Center, the Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth Medical Center, etc. Many students have used research experiences to create competitive industry, graduate school, and medical school applications.
Internship and Co-op Opportunities
Students in this sequence have obtained internships or co-ops at medical device companies and top medical research institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic and the National Institutes of Health.
