Students in the Medical Electronics Engineering Technology program devote their careers to saving lives by assisting doctors, nurses and patients.

Students study analog and digital circuits and processors, in addition to receiving instruction in physiology and medical terminology.

Our graduates leave BFIT with the ability to maintain, repair and calibrate advanced electronic medical instruments used throughout the healthcare industry, including EKG instruments and incubators.

In the workforce, graduates are typically employed by hospitals or a subcontractor for a hospital. Some graduates are employed by manufacturers of medical instruments or medical devices or as field support technicians, after earning experience in the field.

Curriculum:

The curriculum is structured to provide a broad education, with students taking courses in each of the recognized areas of analog circuits, digital circuits, processor circuits and programming, writing skills, presentation skills, algebra and trigonometry. Typically, the electronics courses are three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory work, reinforcing concepts and principles taught in the classroom and providing extensive hands-on education. The freshman year is identical to the Electronic Engineering Technology program and transfer between the two programs is easy during the first year.
