Associate of Science in Biomedical Electronics Technology

This two-year program consists of a combination of courses in basic electrical circuits, analog and digital electronics, microprocessor fundamentals, mathematics, physics, medical instrumentation, human anatomy, and human physiology. The program is enhanced by the department’s interaction with the Indiana University Hospital on the IUPUI campus and with other area hospitals.

The biomedical electronics technology (BMET) curriculum enables graduates to find employment as biomedical equipment technicians, medical equipment sales personnel, medical equipment servicing/maintenance technicians, or research technicians.

The curriculum satisfies the educational requirements of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) and the Certified Biomedical Equipment Technician License.

Graduates of this program are eligible for admission to the Bachelor of Science degree program in electrical engineering technology. Approximately two additional years of study are necessary to complete the requirements for the B.S. in Electrical Engineering Technology.

Clinical Laboratory Equipment Technology Certificate Program

This certificate features instruction focused on the biomedical equipment principles for the clinical laboratory environment. Upon certificate completion, participants will be able to apply their knowledge of electronic principles to equipment within the clinical laboratory environment including theory, function, operation and problem solving. They will be able to function and communicate as part of a multi-disciplinary medical team within the clinical laboratory setting as well as understand and apply safety issues within the clinical laboratory. Participants are expected to possess a knowledge of active, passive, and digital prior to the certificate program.

Note: Materials for these courses are located on the World Wide Web and are supplemented with a textbook, handouts, software, and self-paced learning aids. Assignments and communication between students and faculty are maintained via e-mail. Upon successful completion of two-thirds of each course, students will come to campus for one day (eight hours, total) of hands-on experience, invited speakers, and visits to area hospitals.

All students must complete the following courses:

BMET 330 Electronics for the Clinical Laboratory Equipment Technician 3

BMET 360 Applied Human Biology for the Clinical Laboratory 3

BMET 370 Safety and Regulations in the Clinical Laboratory 3

BMET 380 Clinical Laboratory Equipment 3
