Distance Learning - Associate Degree/Degree on BioMedical Engineering

Do anyone know of any Universities conducting the distance learning on Biomedical Engineering courses. Please email to me.

Thanks

 

Hi,

I know it has been already 10 years and there were no answers, but I would like to ask you if you ever found a distance learning course in Biomedical Engineering. If not, does anyone know about one?

 

Here's one

Biomedical Engineering Technology

 

However I note this site states the following:

College credit is available over the world wide web. (Please note the entire AS or BS degrees are NOT available online.)


In my opinion go for an AA or AS by all means but concentrate on maximizing science subjects (such as chemistry and biology) and math. Then follow up a science based BS degree with all the prerequisite courses for a masters degree such as this distance degree in biomedical engineering:

Obviously I didn't read the entire site. The fact is that associate degrees are not typically focused so tightly (biomed eng). I'll be a bit surprised to learn that there's actually a program of this sort anywhere.

 

I think associate's in biomedical engineering technology are common, and a standard credential for medical equipment maintenance technicians.

 

I've no doubt they are --and I'd think completing such a degree entirely by distance would be pretty uncommon, for this reason:

I imagine maintaining medical equipment is somewhat like doing computer hardware or a few other technology fields, in that "you have to touch the stuff." Students would need labs where they can take stuff apart, fix/calibrate it etc. and get the manual skills that have to go with the theory.

:smlove2: So that's why you guys came up with such a nice list of programs.:smlove2:

 

I have worked in the BMET field for 20 years and there are not many online programs since the nature is hands-on. TESC has an option and Parks College (I think) has an option but Parks was for graduates of United States Army Equipment and Optical School (I am a proud graduate - 1991).

 

Here is a great video of Fitz, where the Army BMET school was - Fitzsimons Flashback to USAMEOS - YouTube

It shows some of the equipment and you can see why it is not an online type of program. I loved working on the sterilizers (6:15 - 7:15 in the video). I know the guy with blonde hair in the first row center in the picture at 2:06. He graduated the "basic" class just before me and must have returned for the "advanced" class since that is a smaller class at 2:06. We used to dream of one day graduating and getting our picture up. The failure rate was something like 40%. At the time I was in, if you failed you were sent to medic school and shipped to Kuwait for the Operation Desert Storm aka The First Gulf War...Ahhh....the memories.

 

Here is the TESC Programs -
ASAST in Biomedical Electronics - Thomas Edison State College: Biomedical Electronics
BSAST in Biomedical Electronics - Thomas Edison State College: Biomedical Electronics

DeVry also has biomed programs but not online.

Here are the credits I got from COSC for the Army school
A&P 1 credit
FIRST AID 1 credit
AC 2 credit
DC 2 credit
Electronic Fundamentals 6 credit
Med Equip Maint 9 credit
