Greetings from the Chair

Welcome to the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering (EBE)! EBE is a department where innovation drives collaboration, world-class research and outstanding ABET-accredited educational programs. Our programs are flexible allowing students to explore their interests and gain design experience in a supportive hands-on environment. Our Electrical and Computer Engineering program boasts internationally recognized faculty with real world experience and tight connections to industry and National labs. Areas of expertise include energy and power systems, robotics and autonomy, and semiconductor engineering. Our students enjoy highly personalized learning from engaged faculty in a collaborative and hands-on space. Our graduate programs in Electrical Engineering offer competitive stipends and allow students to engage in cutting-edge research.

It is uniquely situated between the Larner College of Medicine, UVM Medical Center, and UVM’s state-of-the-art STEM complex where faculty and students engage in interdisciplinary research, collaboration, and instruction. This seamless interaction provides mentors for BME capstone projects, instruction by clinical faculty, interdisciplinary research conferences, and access to real-world clinical and biomedical laboratories. Our BME faculty engage in some of the most cutting-edge and exciting research on nanotechnology, wearable sensors, computational biology, orthopedics and neuroimaging. The innovative undergraduate BME curriculum provides a vertically integrated design experience that allows students to engage in team-based design all 4 years of study. Our BME graduate program has competitive stipends from the Larner College of Medicine and the Graduate College that allows students to engage in world-class research in labs across campus. EBE also houses the Center for Biomedical Innovation (CBI), a hub for the development, design and testing of biomedical devices focused on rural healthcare. The CBI hosts studio space, prototyping shop, testing lab, and a virtual amphitheater where collaborations foster commercialization. Lastly, we are proud of our student and faculty engagement in student organizations and clubs. From the Alternative Energy Racing Organization (AERO), a student run group that works for the development of alternative energy drive systems, to the Society for Women Engineers, and the student led IEEE chapter that competes in the autonomous Micromouse competition each year, there is so much to do! Thank you for your interest in EBE. We look forward to hearing from you.
