Biomedical Engineering Program

Engineering better health.

A joint MSFEA and Faculty of Medicine program connecting engineering design, biomedical science, and clinical questions.

Overview

Medicine, science, and engineering in one program.

Established in 2015, the Biomedical Engineering Program brings MSFEA and the Faculty of Medicine together around graduate education, research, and bioengineering design.

Students apply quantitative, experimental, and design methods to health challenges relevant to Lebanon, the region, and the wider world.

Program focus

Train across disciplinary boundaries.

BMEN combines engineering methods with biomedical and clinical knowledge.

An MSFEA researcher observes illuminated beakers during a laboratory mixing experiment.

The program prepares researchers, specialized engineers, and educators to work independently and in interdisciplinary teams.

Its curriculum and research use expertise and facilities across MSFEA, the Faculty of Medicine, and AUB Medical Center.

  • Engineering design grounded in biomedical and clinical science
  • Quantitative, computational, and experimental methods
  • Research questions shaped by regional and global health needs
