Biomechanics and Rehabilitation Engineering Minor

Biomechanics and rehabilitation engineers build and design devices that assist people with disabilities — such as wheelchair technology, prosthetics, computer access, and more. The biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering minor allows CBU students to study this specialized area of engineering and gain hands-on experience with creating assistive technology.
