A new Master’s of Engineering degree in Artificial Intelligence Engineering will prepare biomedical engineers to apply AI and machine learning to real-world challenges in health, medicine, and biotechnology.
U-M BME is preparing to help launch a new pathway for graduate learners who want to build advanced artificial intelligence skills and apply them directly to biomedical engineering.
Applications are now open for the upcoming Master of Engineering (M. Eng) in Artificial Intelligence Engineering with a concentration in Biomedical Engineering. This degree program is designed for engineers, scientists, and technical professionals seeking rigorous, practice-oriented training at the intersection of AI, machine learning, and biomedical innovation.
The program is expected to be offered in both online and residential formats, increasing access for recent graduates and working professionals who want to continue advancing their careers without relocating or leaving the workforce.
The 30-credit degree is part of a broader Michigan Engineering initiative that unites multiple engineering disciplines around a shared goal: training engineers to develop, adapt, and apply AI-based tools within complex engineering systems. For students in the Biomedical Engineering concentration, that means learning to use AI in areas such as biomedical imaging, neural engineering, signal processing, data-driven modeling, systems biology, and biomedical decision-making.
The start term for the MEng program is Fall 2027, with a stackable Graduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence Engineering planned to begin in Winter 2027. Please see this article for more details.
