Overview

The Biomedical Engineering and Nursing program from Duquesne University integrates clinical knowledge and patient care with engineering techniques in a single academic program:

The five-year program will provide students with a foundational body of knowledge that keeps patient care and practical application at the core of studies supporting innovations and technological advances.
Graduates will have the ability to be involved in all phases of biomedical innovation-from the identification of the clinical problem, through the development of a technical solution, to clinical outcomes evaluation.
In addition to learning engineering and nursing, students will benefit from class and clinical experiences that incorporate the Toyota Production System principles (used to address safety, cost and efficiency) and the American Association of Critical Care Nurses' Synergy Model.

Pittsburgh provides a perfect setting for students to access exceptional practical opportunities, and the program will build on Duquesne's existing connections with the city's hospitals, startups and medical institutions. Pittsburgh is widely recognized as a healthcare and biomedical innovation hub. Students can gain rich experiences leading to their capstone projects with healthcare and technology partners.

Employment Outlook

Job opportunities for biomedical engineers are expected to grow much faster than average - 27 percent - between 2012 and 2022, and nursing jobs are expected to expand faster than average, by 19 percent, in the same timeframe, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. With the combined knowledge and skills of the two disciplines, opportunities may be limitless for the nurse engineer.
