Job Description:
Department Summary
The Biomedical Engineering (BME) Department at SJSU is home to
dynamic BS BME and MS BME programs. Located in the heart of Silicon
Valley, we have developed strong ties and long-standing
collaborations with the diverse array of biomedical engineering
industries that surround us. While most of our students stay in
Silicon Valley upon graduation and contribute actively to the
dynamic growth in the Bay Area, a significant portion of our
students have enjoyed successful careers around the country and
elsewhere. Our rigorous BS and MS curricula were developed in close
consultation with our Industry Advisory Council to ensure that our
graduates are industry-ready. Many of our classes benefit immensely
from the contributions of industry experts who engage our students,
share their practical experiences, and frequently teach some of our
classes.
The reputation of our educational programs for providing a unique
practical approach built on a strong academic foundation continues
to attract students. Student enrollment in our BS and MS programs
has increased significantly since the department's inception, with
a current total student population of approximately 450. Many of
our students are engaged in academic research with faculty in their
research labs or work on projects with industry in various
capacities.
The full time faculty are all active researchers and continue to
successfully attract major funding from federal institutions such
as the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of
Health, and others. The range of their research interests spans
advanced biomaterials, orthopedic applications, 3D printing,
microfluidic devices for diagnostics, nanotechnology for drug
delivery, and cardiovascular devices, among others.
