As part of Illinois Institute of Technology’s mission to provide a distinctive and relevant education that focuses on preparing its students for careers that contribute to solving important problems facing humanity, the Department of Biomedical Engineering is now offering the Master of Science in Medical Devices and Biomaterials. This program will provide the education and training relevant to the design and development of medical devices. Special emphasis is placed on the principles of engineering design methodology, computational and modeling aspects of medical devices, and design and use of biomaterials in medical devices. Graduates of the program will be able to identify design problems related to the construction of biomedical engineering devices; to understand the process involved in the planning, designing, and development of these devices; to build and test prototype biomedical devices; and to have an understanding of the principles of biomaterial design and development. Aligning with Illinois Tech’s university-wide Health and Wellness research initiative, the medical devices and biomaterials program will provide its graduates with the fundamental knowledge and hands-on experience needed to thrive in the ever-evolving and fast-growing biomedical engineering field.

Career Opportunities
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a faster-than-average growth for biomedical engineering jobs from 2019–2029. The largest sector of the biomedical engineering field are those who work in medical equipment and supplies manufacturing.
Among the careers that graduates can pursue include (but are not limited to):
Illinois Tech has several of its own competitive scholarship programs that are open to both undergraduate and graduate students. All domestic undergraduate first-year and transfer students are automatically considered for scholarships that cover a generous portion of expenses such as tuition. Graduate students in select degree programs also may be considered for additional special scholarships, beyond any fellowships that they may receive.
Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.
It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.
A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):
