The Department of Biomedical Engineering and Science offers project-driven courses—Senior Design and MedTech Innovations—that bridge engineering and medicine through direct clinician-student collaboration. Students work alongside physicians to design and prototype real-world medical technologies.
One team, mentored by Sujoy Ghosh Hajra and Mohamad Ahmed, is developing a contactless vital sign monitoring system that uses skin-reflected light to measure heart rate, heart rate variability, blood pressure and SpO₂.
Another project, guided by Tyler Sexton of Brevard Hyperbaric and Southern Aeromedical Institute, created a noninvasive hypoxia-monitoring system for clinical and aviation applications.
These courses equip students with both technical and clinical insight, preparing them to become the next generation of medical technology innovators.
