Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering - Biomedical
The biomedical option within the electrical engineering degree program allows graduates to pursue a career in the biomedical engineering discipline or to pursue a graduate degree in biomedical engineering. An additional 15 course credit hours beyond the 122 required for the degree will qualify graduates to apply for a post graduate medical degree program. The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. Graduates are eligible to practice and become licensed professional engineers.
It is highly recommended that all freshmen engineering students purchase a laptop computer. The recommended laptop computer specifications are at: https://www.atu.edu/engineering/specifications.php.

2This program partners the BSEE Biomedical option undergraduate degree with the MSEE degree. A maximum of 12 graduate level credit hours can be counted towards both the BSEE Biomedical option degree in Electrical Engineering and the MSEE degree. Four graduate level courses can be used to replace four upper-division undergraduate courses as follows:
- ELEG 5313 can replace ELEG 4313
- ELEG 5113 can replace ELEG 4113
- ELEG 5153 can replace ELEG 4153
- ELEG 5133 can replace ELEG 4133
- ELEG 5993 can replace ELEG 4993
The following courses are not required for the Biomedical Option major; however, they are recommended for application to an advanced medical degree program:
| Semester | Course Number | Course Name | Credits |
| Sophomore Fall | BIOL 3034 | Genetics* | 4 |
| Sophomore Spring | CHEM 3264 | Mechanistic Organic Chemistry* | 4 |
| Junior Fall | CHEM 3344 | Principles of Biochemistry* | 4 |
| Senior Spring | BIOL 4033 | Cell Biology* | 3 |
