BIOL 1030/1031 Concepts of Biology and Lab
CHEM 1030/1031 Concepts of Chemistry and Lab
Degree: Associate of Applied Science
Emphasis: Industrial Technology
Concentration: Biomedical Technology
The Biomedical Equipment Technology concentration under the Industrial Technology degree program prepares individuals to fill an important role in today’s specialized medical industry. Biomedical equipment, which is vital to human life, is found in clinics, hospitals, and many doctors’ offices. The complex and highly specialized equipment in these facilities is valued in millions of dollars. The Biomedical Equipment Technology program at Walters State is designed to prepare the student to meet the demands of this exacting profession by teaching them the electronics skills needed to inspect, calibrate, maintain, troubleshoot and repair medical equipment. Computer networking courses are also part of the curriculum, as technicians are often responsible for the transmission of data from biomedical equipment to computer stations through local and wide area networks. Select courses are also transferable to select four year colleges and universities with similar programs.
