Certificate in Clinical Engineering
The Certificate in Clinical Engineering will prepare students to work in medical imaging-related jobs and disciplines. Students will be provided the opportunity to pursue educational objectives beyond those normally associated with their academic major in engineering. Certificate holders will be trained to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the operational evaluation of biomedical and health systems and products, such as integrated biomedical imaging systems, instrumentation, medical information systems, and health management and patient care delivery systems. Certificate holders will gain expertise in medical imaging technology, healthcare business acumen, customer relationship management, and specific modality operation and troubleshooting.
Requirements
The 16-credit hour Certificate in Clinical Engineering will be offered as a stand-alone, online certificate. Many of the courses offered for the certificate program may be counted towards technical elective requirements for graduation within the students major.
