This track is your launchpad into Biomedical Engineering!

Explore how engineering, biology, and medicine intersect to create next-generation health technologies—from wearable sensors and artificial organs to imaging technologies, robotics, and smart drug-delivery systems. Through guided, hands-on engineering challenges, lab tours, and conversations with current students, you’ll see how biomedical engineers tackle today’s most pressing medical problems and get an inside look at what it’s like to study biomedical engineering in the joint program of UNC and NC State. Along the way, you’ll learn about diverse career pathways, including working in a research lab, launching a medical device startup, developing novel pharmaceuticals, or using BME as a foundation to become a practicing clinician. By the end of this track, you’ll have a well-constructed vision of the major and the pathways beyond!
