The Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering transforms society through innovative engineering education at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels. The Whiting School of Engineering is the engineering college of the Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland.

Make connections and dive deep into the biomedical engineering field by taking Biomedical Engineering Innovation (BMEI), a program designed for students just like you by faculty of the nation’s number one program in biomedical engineering! 

During the JHU three-credit course, you will model biological systems and design experiments to test those models and use engineering principles to solve biological, physiological, and/or medical design problems.

Expand your STEM skills, explore biomedical engineering, build confidence, and prepare for college—all in an interactive and engaging online environment!

You will learn to model both human efficiency and the circulatory system and complete a biosensor design project. You develop your own independent project by forming your hypothesis, designing an experiment to test your hypothesis, collecting and analyzing data and finally preparing and presenting your results in an online poster.

You must be a current high school student or recent high school graduate. Their typical student is a rising junior (~35%) or senior (~65%) in high school. Talented ninth-graders (rising sophomores) may be considered; however, priority will be given to older students. Graduated seniors are also eligible to participate during the summer before they begin their college career.  

You will need a computer to access course materials found both in MS Teams and on the Canvas learning management system.   

 Additionally, the computer should have:  

Information on how to order the required lab supplies from their official vendor will be provided when you receive your offer of admission to the program.

The estimated cost of the lab supplies is less than $325 (less than Rs. 26k). Shipping fees and US sales tax will be added by our supplier when you order your kit.  

This is not a self-paced course. Students will have assignments or activities to complete on a daily schedule.  Students should plan to spend 14-20 hours/week during a summer session and 7-10 hours/week during a fall or spring session of Biomedical Engineering Innovation

BMEI is mostly an asynchronous course where you work independently on your projects and assignments. 

On average, students spend 4-6 hours/week in the summer session and  2-3 hours/week in spring and fall sessions  viewing the lecture material and completing the online quizzes.

On average, students spend 4-6 hours/week in the summer session and 2-3 hours/week in spring and fall sessions  completing assignments. 

On average, students spend 6-8 hours/week in the summer session and 3-4 hours/week in spring and fall sessions  completing the lab activities.
