Gerald (Jerry) LeCarpentier of Plymouth has been named director of the biomedical engineering (BME) program at Lawrence Technological University.
LeCarpentier expects LTU’s BME program to continue to expand and attract more students. LTU’s master’s degree program in biomedical engineering will be introduced in the 2015 fall semester.
“With the oldest baby-boomers now approaching 70 with a life expectancy exceeding 85, it is natural to assume that BME graduates will play a very large part in the fabric of healthcare and quality of life in our aging society,” he said.
Biomedical engineering was ranked number one on the “best job” list for 2012 and 2013 on the CNN Money website. LeCarpentier believes BME graduates from LTU will be prepared to play important roles in the field.
“The key to this success will be the natural collaborative efforts and multidisciplinary approach inherent in our BME curriculum here at LTU,” LeCarpentier said. “Our BME faculty offer tremendous expertise in this educational process.” read more
