Biomedical Engineering Major, Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.)

Research Opportunities

Our students have the opportunity work alongside renowned faculty who are conducting groundbreaking research. Students also participate in two senior capstone projects that synthesize course knowledge and experimental skills into a team-based, collaborative experimental study supervised by faculty, which may include participation from industry representatives.

First-year students can also be considered for the Undergraduate Research Opportunities and Collaborations Award, a merit-based scholarship awarded through the early action admission process.

Co-op Program

Explore potential career paths and apply your learning in the real world – all while earning money. As a biomedical engineering student, you can take advantage of our highly successful Professional Co-op Program, which integrates full-time work experience with relevant coursework. 

This three-phase academic program is coordinated and supervised by co-op staff in full partnership with faculty. Students who successfully complete the full Professional Co-op cycle may substitute the full cycle for one professional elective.

Student Run Organizations

Solving problems is fun, and at UMass Lowell you can put your learning into practice. Students can connect in a variety of ways outside of the classroom, including:  

• DifferenceMaker Prototype Competition
• Student Clubs such as the Biomedical Engineering Society and eNable Lowell
