PGCert in Biomedical/Medical Engineering

This 16-credit certificate is offered both on campus and fully online. It introduces human physiology and the mechanics of impact, covering motor vehicle trauma as well as blast-related injuries and protective strategies. Students learn how injuries occur and how protective designs reduce harm. Required coursework includes quantitative physiology, and on-campus students choose between impact biomechanics and a modeling course in the same area. Two required courses and two electives make up the 16 credits, giving learners a structured path through the material. Graduates can help improve vehicle and equipment safety through study and analysis, with a focus on preventing injuries. The certificate suits students aiming for roles in automotive or defense industries, and it also serves professionals who want to deepen their expertise.
