healthcare industry, but also dueto its influence on other engineering and technology industries. U.S. Dept. of Labor estimatesthat the job market for biomedical engineers will increase by 31.4%, faster than the average of alloccupations, through 2010. This is double the overall job growth rate of 15.2% and more thanthree times the overall growth rate of 9.4% for all engineering jobs1,2. However, BME educationhas not kept pace with this rapid growth and development. There are fewer than 90 institutions inthe US offering some form of a BME program, mostly at the graduate level3. In fact, only 28 ofthese institutions offer an accredited undergraduate BME degree program4 . As we look at the number of degrees conferred, the situation is not looking
