Applied Engineering Technology - Biomedical Design & Manufacturing

Program Information

The Associate of Science (AS) in Applied Engineering Technology-Biomedical
Design & Manufacturing degree program will prepare students for a career in Biomedical Device Manufacturing at either a technician level, or advance to an applied engineering level. Drawing heavily on industry representative feedback, this unique program of study includes an introduction to biomedical manufacturing technology and industry-specific software and hardware training. Along with a strong general education core including a solid science and math foundation, students will participate in coursework that strengthens their communication and critical thinking/problem-solving abilities. For assistance in program planning, or to explore additional transfer options, students should schedule a time to meet with an academic advisor. This degree may transfer in part or in its entirety to baccalaureate institutions.
Students should meet with a representative of the transfer institution when planning their program. For additional information about our programs, visit our website at http://www.anokaramsey.edu/BMED.

Developmental Courses 

Some students may need preparatory courses in the areas of English, mathematics or reading. Courses numbered below 1000 will not apply toward this degree.

  • By completing this program, students will achieve the following learning goals:

    1. Apply mathematical, physical and biological foundations to the solution of biomedical engineering problems.
    2. Incorporate techniques, skills, and tools necessary for achieving robust engineering solutions.
    3. Develop a comprehensive awareness of constraints that challenge the design and manufacture of biomedical devices.
    4. Demonstrated capacity to participate on multi-disciplinary teams to achieve desired results.
    • A minimum of 60 semester credits in courses numbered 1000 or above.
    • A minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 in courses numbered 1000 or above at ARCC.
    • Satisfy residency requirements. 
    • A minimum grade of C must be earned in all program requirements.
