Home » All Programs » Biomedical Engineering
Passionate about life sciences? Fascinated by engineering? Want to make a difference? LTU’s BS in Biomedical Engineering could be perfect for you.

» Program Overview

As a biomedical engineer, you’ll blend a sound foundation in engineering with a working knowledge of the life sciences – while improving the lives of others through advanced medical technologies.

Together, the two areas enable biomedical engineers to design procedures and devices that help the medical community diagnose and treat disease and injury, make medical testing less intrusive, enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities, and otherwise improve the practice of medicine. Biomedical engineers work alongside doctors, nurses, and other medical caregivers to develop and improve these technologies.

 

Why LTU?
  • You’ll experience Lawrence Tech’s signature theory and practice approach to learning through extensive laboratory work in LTU’s state-of-the-art labs
  • Abundant opportunities for internships and research opportunities in hospitals, health care institutions and the medical equipment industry can provide you with valuable hands-on experiences
  • Dedicated, caring faculty will provide you with one-on-one attention and bring current industry experience as well as cutting-edge research to the classroom
  • The coordination of programs at Lawrence Tech makes it easy for you to earn a dual degree in either biomedical and electrical engineering, or biomedical and mechanical engineering

Use Your Cell Phone as a Document Camera in Zoom

  • What you will need to have and do
  • Download the mobile Zoom app (either App Store or Google Play)
  • Have your phone plugged in
  • Set up video stand phone holder

From Computer

Log in and start your Zoom session with participants

From Phone

  • Start the Zoom session on your phone app (suggest setting your phone to “Do not disturb” since your phone screen will be seen in Zoom)
  • Type in the Meeting ID and Join
  • Do not use phone audio option to avoid feedback
  • Select “share content” and “screen” to share your cell phone’s screen in your Zoom session
  • Select “start broadcast” from Zoom app. The home screen of your cell phone is now being shared with your participants.

To use your cell phone as a makeshift document camera

  • Open (swipe to switch apps) and select the camera app on your phone
  • Start in photo mode and aim the camera at whatever materials you would like to share
  • This is where you will have to position what you want to share to get the best view – but you will see ‘how you are doing’ in the main Zoom session.
