Biomechanics, BBE
The Biomechanics Major integrates life sciences education with training in mechanical engineering, including materials, thermodynamics, fluids, transport phenomena and human modeling and simulation. In their senior year, students complete an intensive laboratory component emphasizing measurement of biomechanical loading in both static and dynamic environments. In addition, the senior year capstone design course places students on a multidisciplinary team to solve an actual industrial design problem.
This major is perfect for students interested in Biomaterials, Orthopedic Rehabilitation and Tissue Engineering.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
All engineering students must successfully complete the curriculum prescribed in the Undergraduate Bulletin by the college at the time they are admitted or readmitted as degree candidates. This includes the requirements of the minimum number of degree hours earned, all required courses and an approved elective program, a C (2.000) average in all Marquette credits applied toward the degree, and a C (2.000) average in all Opus College of Engineering courses. Note: The BS in Biomedical Engineering requires a minimum 2.500 in all Marquette work. The Engineering Leadership concentration requires a minimum 2.800 in all Marquette work. The BS in Biomedical Engineering requires a minimum 2.500 in all Opus College of Engineering courses. The BS in Biomedical Engineering requires a minimum 2.500 GPA in all biomedical engineering major courses. A minimum of 60 credits must be taken at Marquette University. The final 30 credits must be taken at Marquette University or in an approved study abroad program unless given prior approval from the Office of the Provost. The 32 credit hours of upper division course work must be taken at Marquette University. At least 15 credit hours of course work in the major must be completed at Marquette University.
The following conditions apply under special circumstances:
- If all degree credit is earned in continuous study in engineering at Marquette, the fulfillment of all degree requirements is normally straightforward. Students making an inter-college curriculum change have credits earned in a previous curriculum allocated to the new curriculum by the Office of Academic Affairs through consultations with the appropriate department chair or their designate.
- Students who have interrupted their enrollment from the university are normally obliged to follow the curriculum in effect at the time of readmission or more directly they must complete the courses prescribed by their department at the time of readmission. Normally, this is defined in concert with the Director of Student Studies and Records in consultation with department chair or their designate. Policies and regulations that are in effect at the time of return apply to all students, regardless of the term of initial enrollment.
- Transfer students coming into engineering degree programs have their previous credits evaluated and applied toward the specific engineering degree they are pursuing, at the time of admission.
- Students may elect to repeat courses at Marquette using the Course Repeat policy. The repeated course grade is used in the computation of the GPA. The first grade is removed from the GPA. The original grade remains on the student's record. Students must complete and submit a Request to Repeat an Undergraduate Course form. Note: For Opus College of Engineering students, the Course Repeat cannot be used more than five times throughout their career.
- Credit/No Credit (CR/NC), Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) grades do not affect the student's GPAs, only degree hours earned. The same rule applies to credit added through Advanced Placement programs, Credit by Examination and CLEP exams.
- Any variation from standard degree requirements must be accompanied by approved Curriculum Substitution and/or Allowance Request forms, which are available on the Engineering Academic Advising Center website.
College GRADUATION REQUIREMENT
A degree of Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Construction Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering may be conferred on students who successfully complete the curriculum prescribed for the degree, and who have satisfied the following requirements:
- The Opus College of Engineering graduates students three times each year (May, August, and December).
- Students who plan to graduate must apply for a degree through the submission of an Application for Graduation no later than the deadline posted in the Academic Calendar.
- Graduation requirements include:
It is the responsibility of students to know and fulfill all university and college requirements. Note: In addition, students are required to adhere to the following college graduation requirements.- Minimum of 128-134 earned credit hours, depending on the major chosen.
- Minimum 2.000 GPA in all Marquette work. The BS in Biomedical Engineering requires a minimum 2.500 in all Marquette work. The Engineering Leadership concentration requires a minimum 2.800 in all Marquette work.
- Minimum 2.000 GPA in all Opus College of Engineering courses. The BS in Biomedical Engineering requires a minimum 2.500 in all Opus College of Engineering courses.
- The BS in Biomedical Engineering requires a minimum 2.500 GPA in all biomedical engineering major courses.
- Completion of all required courses and an approved elective program.
- Students are cautioned to enter their last term with a clear understanding that they are satisfying all degree requirements. Students should view their Academic Advisement (AA) Graduation Checklist in CheckMarq. If any requirements appear as - Not Satisfied, the Engineering Academic Advising Center may be consulted to resolve any concerns.
- All curricular modifications must be accompanied by approved Curriculum Substitution and/or Allowance Request forms, which are available through the Engineering Academic Advising Center website.
- All degree requirements must be completed on schedule and according to deadlines established in the Academic Calendar. Incomplete grades and late exams delay graduation for at least one term.
- A final check of students' degree requirements is made by the students' departments and the director of Student Studies and Records during the last term and students are notified if they fail to meet any requirements. However, this may be too late to adjust the term course load.
- In addition, the Opus College of Engineering adheres to the University Commencement Policy.
University Graduation Requirement
Undergraduate Graduation Policy
Students are required to graduate at the end of the term in which all degree requirements are completed. Degree requirements are those requirements, including university, college and all other requirements necessary to earn a minimum of one undergraduate degree and any declared degrees/majors/minors/concentrations. That is, additional degrees/majors/minors/concentrations may be earned; however, they must be completed in the same term as the first degree/primary major is completed. Except in the case of readmission, undergraduate students must meet the graduation requirements which are stated in the Undergraduate Bulletin issued for the year in which they entered Marquette. Substitutions or waivers for specific courses required for degree completion may occur, as determined by the college and/or the Marquette Core Curriculum committee.
Students who have interrupted their enrollment from the university, are normally obliged to follow the degree/major/minor/concentration requirements in effect at the time of readmission. Policies that are in effect at the time of the return, apply to all students, regardless of the term of initial enrollment. Students are responsible for keeping themselves informed of the requirements which apply in their particular cases. Students have faculty advisers available who assist in planning and implementing their plan of studies; however, it is ultimately each student’s responsibility to know and fulfill the requirements for graduation specified for the selected plan. This should be done not only by utilization of specific advisers, but also with Academic Advisement, the university’s online degree audit tool on CheckMarq provided to all undergraduates. With Academic Advisement, students track their degree progress until graduation. It is the responsibility of students to immediately bring any discrepancies found in Academic Advisement to the attention of their college.
A candidate for a baccalaureate degree must meet the following graduation requirements:
- In all undergraduate colleges and programs, a minimum of 120 credits earned and a cumulative grade point average of 2.000 is required for a Marquette undergraduate degree.
- Credits required to be completed in residence at Marquette:
- A minimum of 45 total credits must be completed at Marquette. Up to 15 of the 45 credits may be completed through an approved study abroad program.
- A minimum of 24 upper-division credits must be completed at Marquette. This may include upper-division credits from an approved study abroad program.
- At least 30 of the final 36 credits needed to complete a Marquette undergraduate degree must be completed at Marquette, unless those credits are earned in an approved study abroad program, or are earned as part of a written/contractual agreement with another institution, in which Marquette students participate during the final year of their degree program.
- A minimum of one-half of credits in the major, minor, and concentration not attached to a major must be completed at Marquette.
- Students must attend all courses, lectures, or any other exercises that are required, even though, in some cases such activities receive no recognition in terms of credit hours.
- Students' records must be cleared of all grades that are not permanent, i.e., grades of I, IC, IE and NG.
- Students must file the online application for a degree by the deadline published in the Academic Calendar; however, because students are required to graduate at the end of the term in which all university, degree requirements are complete, the university reserves the right to graduate a student without a graduation application on file. If the university exercises this option, there is no guarantee students will be able to participate in Commencement.
- Commencement is held in May, after the spring term. Participation in Commencement does not mean students are graduated. See the Commencement Policy in this section for further details.
- Exceptions to this Graduation Requirements policy must be approved by the Office of the Provost, except:
- the course and bulletin year exceptions listed in the 'Graduation Requirements' section above (as approved by the college)
- number 3 above (as approved by the college)
For additional college requirements, consult the Degree Requirements listed for each undergraduate program in this bulletin.
Graduation Latin Honors
The grade point average is used to compute graduation Latin honors. The computation is made by dividing the total number of grade points earned at Marquette University by the total number of grade point hours earned. The official Marquette GPA of all students is calculated by the student information system and this GPA is not rounded up or down for any reason. To graduate with Latin honors, candidates must be pursuing their first bachelor's degree, earned at least 60 grade point hours and 60 degree hours at Marquette University, normally as a junior and senior. First bachelor's degree is defined as the first bachelor's degree earned from any institution. When students earn a concurrent additional bachelor's degree (i.e., finish in the same term as the first bachelor's degree), the additional degree is also eligible for Graduation Latin Honors, if the first bachelor's degree qualifies.
Graduates whose grade point average is 3.500, graduate with cum laude (Latin for 'with honor'); graduates whose grade point average is 3.700, graduate with magna cum laude (Latin for 'with great honor'); and graduates whose grade point average is 3.900, graduate with summa cum laude (Latin for 'with highest honor'). Graduation Latin honors are recorded on diplomas, noted in the published lists of graduates at Commencement and recorded on students' transcript.
Graduation Record
The academic record of students is frozen once the degree is posted and may not be altered thereafter, unless required to do so by law and/or a documented university error is discovered after the degree is posted. This includes, but is not limited to: all relevant grade point averages, grades, additional information relating to the degree(s), major(s), minor(s), concentration(s), Latin Honors and academic censure.
