Master of Biomedical Imaging and Signals

The purpose of this degree program is to prepare students for leading edge positions in industry in the areas of biomedical imaging and signal processing. The Professional Master of Biomedical Imaging and Signals is a course-only degree program that prepares students for professional practice. The interdisciplinary nature of bioengineering generally involves many facets of electrical and computer engineering. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers several courses and research opportunities that engage students interested in biomedical engineering. In addition, there are a significant number of courses offered by the Biomedical Engineering Department and other disciplines at IIT which are of great importance to students interested in the professional master's degree in biomedical engineering with specialization in medical imaging and bio-signals.The admission requirements for the proposed degree will follow the existing admission requirements for such professional master's degrees in ECE Department.
