Every university has different procedures...do you have any idea where you'd like to go?  If you're looking for a great degree at a good price, I recommend looking into Montana State University.  Their engineering programs are top notch, and they have some really cool research going on right now.  However, wherever you decide to go, most universities have an office called "International Programs", which employs people to help folks coming from overseas apply to their university.

"Biomedical engineering combines engineering expertise with medical needs for the enhancement of health care. It is a branch of engineering in which knowledge and skills are developed and applied to define and solve problems in biology and medicine. Students choose the biomedical engineering field to be of service to people; for the excitement of working with living systems; and to apply advanced technology to the complex problems of medical care. The biomedical engineer is a health care professional, a group which includes physicians, nurses, and technicians. Biomedical engineers may be called upon to design instruments and devices, to bring together knowledge from many sources to develop new procedures, or to carry out research to acquire knowledge needed to solve new problems."\n\nExamples of work done by biomedical engineers include:\n\ndesigning and constructing cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, artificial kidneys, blood oxygenators, and prosthetic hearts, blood vessels, joints, arms, and legs. \n\ndesigning computer systems to monitor patients during surgery or in intensive care, or to monitor healthy persons in unusual environments, such as astronauts in space or underwater divers at great depth. \n\ndesigning and building sensors to quantify components of the blood's chemistry, such as potassium, sodium, O2, CO2, and pH. \n\ndesigning instruments and devices for therapeutic uses, such as a laser system for eye surgery, a catheter to clear out a blocked blood vessel, or a device for automated delivery of insulin. \n\ndeveloping strategies for clinical decision making based on expert systems and artificial intelligence, such as a computer-based system for selecting seat cushions for paralyzed patients or for, managing the care of patients with severe burns or for diagnosing diseases. \n\ndesigning clinical laboratories and other units within the hospital and health care delivery system that utilize advanced technology. Examples would be a computerized analyzer for blood samples, ambulances for use in rural areas, or a cardiac catheterization laboratory. \n\ndesigning, building and investigating medical imaging systems based on X-rays (computer assisted tomography), isotopes (positron emission tomography), magnetic fields (magnetic resonance imaging), ultrasound, or newer modalities. \n\nconstructing and implementing mathematical/computer models of physiological systems to help life scientists better understand how those systems operate. \n\ndesigning and fabricating biomaterials and determining the mechanical, transport, and biocompatibility properties of implantable artificial materials.\n \ncreating new diagnostic procedures, especially those requiring engineering analyses to determine parameters that are not directly accessible to measurements, such as in the internal organs or brain. \n\ninvestigating the biomechanics of injury and wound healing.\n\nclick on this link and type in biomedical engineering and it will give you a list of schools:\n\nhttp://www.petersons.com/ugchannel/code/searches/srchCrit1.asp

The best Industrial engineering school I believe is Georgia Tech, however.. if you want to get an MBA after that I recommend the University of Michigan\n\nnumber 2 in IOE and they were number 1 business school last year, so I think thats your best option

Yes, check out the programs at Stanford and UCLA, they have not only great programs but clinics that subspecialize in major biologically based disorders.

If you have a transfer GPA above 3.5, check out UC Berkeley. They offer majors in human biodynamics (PE) and nutritional science. Nutri Sci is not a joke at the school. It's an honestly good field of study. Cal Berkeley is EXTREMELY competitive, so if you are not a serious student, don't bother.\n\nOtherwise, consider SF State U, USF or CSU East Bay (Hayward).

I don't think that anyone rates these schools. They can also be broken down by specialties such as broadcast or print or electronic. Generally, Columbia and UC Berkeley have the most prestigious/best graduate programs and Northwestern has the best undergrad program.

See  the Lerner Research Institute, Department of Biomedical Engineering,  at the Cleveland Clinic system in Cleveland, OH\nhttp://www.lerner.ccf.org/bme/\n\nSee NASA's Anthropometry and Biomechanics Lab in Houston, TX:\nhttp://shfe.jsc.nasa.gov/docs/workshop/13abf.pdf\n\nHope this helps!

I am from Toronto...UofT(univesity of toronto) is the only university in the world with a bachlors degree in Nano Engineering (incl. Genetic Engineering). The req. are crazy though...have a look into it

I would recommend Princeton. Very strong Philosophy PHD program.

Biotechnology or BT is industrial application of biology. Its biology in the service of mankind. It involves application of plants, animals and microorganisms in industry. On the other hand, Biomedical engineering uses traditional engineering expertise to solve problems in biology and medicine. Hearing aids,pacemakers etc. are the gifts of biomedical engineering to mankind.\n\nUnder-grad courses in BT - \nYou can go either for BSc. Biotechnology, B.E Biotech or B.Tech Biotech, B.E Biomedical engineering etc. For list of Biotechnology colleges and Biomedical engineering colleges, visit http://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc\n\nPost-grad courses in BT - \nMSc. in Biotechnology has good career prospects. Biotech is a booming sector and the growth oppurtunities are high. The Biotech sector includes - Biopharma, Biotech, Biotech services, Bioindustrial, Bioinformatics etc. After BSc., those who want to go for research, choose MSc. and then go for Phd. On the other hand, some go for MBA-Biotechnology. Career oppurtunities for both these courses are good.\n\nAfter doing MSc. Biotech, one can join R&D dept. of any good Biotech company. US is the best destination for Biotechnology. It stands out in the field of research as well as the biotech market is much developed in the US. Similar, is the case with UK, Canada and a few EU countries. Coming to India and China, these countries are really trying hard. Australia is good study destination as well for BT studies in Asia-Pacific region.\n\nFor details on entrance exams and admission procedures as well as more career options in BT, you may visit -\nhttp://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc\n\nThe other career prospect is MBA-Biotechnology. MBA-Biotech has bright prospects. It is a 2-year programme in management. Only science stream graduates/ those in their final year of graduation can only apply for this course. This course gives equal emphasis to both Biotechnology and management. In India, University of Pune(PUMBA), Amity Institute at Noida are the preferred institutes for this course. For details on this course, go to http://www.microbiologyindia.cjb.net

A variety of different medical schools have really good programs.\n\nThe University of Virginia - Charlottseville is a great school for Cancer research.\n\nThe University of Utah - SLC has a great pathology program (infectious diseases)\n\nThe University of Wisconsin (Madison) is a major research facility which would have a great deal of research opportunities and learning opportunities for infectious diseases.\n\nI would recommend any of those above.
