"A new master's degree in biomedical engineering within the college also was approved. Biomedical engineering focuses on improving medical systems to enhance human health, including prosthetics and medical devices and instruments. The program includes collaboration with ECU Brody School of Medicine faculty."
“Our new name will provide the college and the university with greater visibility for prospective students and faculty, it will enhance our opportunities to secure external research funding, increase economic development opportunities and more accurately identify the programs in the college,” said David White, dean of the College of Engineering and Technology. “I also believe employers will be more likely to look to ECU and the college for their future employees and leaders.”
".......ECU engineering students can choose from five possible concentrations — biomedical engineering, bioprocess engineering, electrical engineering, industrial and systems engineering and mechanical engineering."
This huge for ECU and the programs, greater visibility, more research money, the list goes on.
