Accelerated education program in biomedical engineering

This paper describes a new nine-month, non-degree accelerated engineering program for displaced engineers and scientists being offered by the University of California, Irvine. This program began in the fall of 1994 as part of the Technology Outreach Program in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. The curriculum includes regular engineering as well as custom courses covering subjects expected to be known by practicing engineers, such as engineering economics, statistical design and state-of-the-art technology issues
