Biomedical Engineering
Technology
The increasing demand for better patient care has created a severe shortage
of Biomedical Engineering Technicians and Biomedical Engineers.
In response, Gateway Technical College
developed the a new path through the Electrical Engineering Technology program.
This new path specializes in Biomedical Engineering Technology. The Associate of Applied Science degree in
EET- Biomedical Engineering
Technology (EET-BET) not only provides students with the skills
they need for employment in today’s healthcare field, but also
enables a graduate to continue their education in a Bachelor of Science degree
in Biomedical Engineering.
(Please see the Transfer page for more information.)
Pursuing the associate degree at Gateway
enables a student to:
- enter the
work force after two year of study and/or continue for a bachelor’s degree
whereby an employer’s tuition reimbursement program may be applicable
- attend
Gateway classes at the convenient CATI Campus
The associate degree EET- Biomedical
Engineering Technology
curriculum is focused on an experience-building learning style, hence the
program is laboratory oriented. At Gateway, "hands-on" learning
is incorporated into all course work. The Advanced
Electronics Laboratory utilizes state-of-the-art test equipment for hands-on
and computer based circuit analysis for the design process. Computers also are
available for Internet access and research purposes.
The mathematics component of the program is
incorporated into the electronics and biomedical courses, providing the student with immediate,
real-world application of the subject matter. This experience-building style of
learning allows the student to cover many advanced medical instrumentation and electronics
topics such as:
- Safety in Healthcare
- Medical Instrumentation
- Anatomy and Physiology
- DC and AC
electronics
- Advanced DC and AC
circuit analysis
- Advanced transistor
theory
- Operational
amplifier theory
- Digital electronics
- Microprocessors
- Electronic
communications
- Algebra
- Trigonometry
- Calculus
- Physics
Graduates will have the knowledge
necessary to assist in the design, development and testing of electrical
components and wiring associated with medical instrumentation, patient
treatment, and diagnosis associated with high-tech healthcare environments.
