Biomedical Engineering Lecturer Pool

About the role

The Biomedical Engineering (BME) Department at SJSU is home to dynamic BS BME and MS BME programs. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, we have developed strong ties and long-standing collaborations with the diverse array of biomedical engineering industries that surround us. While most of our students stay in Silicon Valley upon graduation and contribute actively to the dynamic growth in the Bay Area, a significant portion of our students have enjoyed successful careers around the country and elsewhere. Our rigorous BS and MS curricula were developed in close consultation with our Industry Advisory Council to ensure that our graduates are industry-ready. Many of our classes benefit immensely from the contributions of industry experts who engage our students, share their practical experiences, and frequently teach some of our classes. The reputation of our educational programs for providing a unique practical approach built on a strong academic foundation continues to attract students.
