Ph.D. Biomedical Engineering

Doctoral students in NJIT’s Biomedical Engineering program are preparing for diverse fields and will work with renowned experts in these specialty areas:

• Biomaterials and Biocompatibility;
• Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine;
• Cellular and Orthopedic Biomechanics;
• Biomedical Signal Processing;
• Imaging and Instrumentation;
• Neural and Neuromuscular Engineering

However, we expect all of our Ph.D. students to achieve these learning outcomes:

• Develop independence in research problem-solving skills at an advanced level
• Acquire the depth of knowledge in your area of concentration to achieve a doctoral level of expertise
• Learn new methods of investigation
• Develop new skills appropriate for the student’s area of specialization
• Cooperate with laboratory staff and students and contribute to the scholarship in the lab
• Acquire sufficient breadth of knowledge to encourage new skills and problem- solving approaches that allow continuous learning and development
• Develop an understanding of the diversity of research methods employed by successful investigators by completing two laboratory rotations, one in an engineering laboratory and the second in a life science laboratory
• Attend at least one scientific conference as the primary presenter of a paper.
• Understand the conduct and support of research and development
• Develop ethical reasoning skills
• Improve communication skills for teaching and research dissemination
