Inside the Program

Student and faculty researchers at Wichita State are creating a smart skin biomedical sensor that could someday be used by NASA.

Students and faculty create smart skin biomed sensor

Student and faculty researchers at Wichita State are creating a smart skin biomedical sensor that could someday be used by NASA.

If the sensor does what they expect, it would be able to measure multiple physiological parameters that NASA is interested in, including blood flow, intercranial pressure, blood health, blood gas levels and muscle degeneration.

Curriculum

Biomedical engineering students gain a strong foundation in general education, math, science, general and biomedical engineering coursework. The program offers three concentrations: bio devices and instrumentation, bio energy and lifespan engineering.
