This article presents a framework, termed BME 2.0, for the future education and curriculum design in biomedical engineering. The central proposal is to redesign BME curricula to emphasize bilingual training in molecular biology and analytical modeling, data science education, and a vertically integrated, convergent learning environment.
This narrative review proposes a framework for the future of biomedical engineering (BME) education, termed BME 2.0. The authors outline core principles for a new curriculum: bilingual education in molecular biology and analytical modeling, training all students as biomedical data scientists, building a vertically integrated learning community, championing inclusive excellence, and codifying ongoing discoveries. The proposed transition emphasizes foundational biology and engineering in the first two years, with depth and project-based learning in the junior and senior years. The authors describe BME 2.0 as a roadmap for institutions to adapt their curricula for the 21st-century biomedical age. The paper is a perspective piece offering an educational vision, not a report of empirical research data, and does not present specific study limitations in a traditional sense.
