Neural Engineering Schools
Neural Engineering, Neuroengineering, or is a relatively new and
rapidly developing field that employs techniques to understand, repair,
replacement, correcting or treating the neural system diseases, such as
stroke and epilepsy. There are several schools in the United States,
offering Masters and doctoral courses that are geared towards this area.
Pennsylvania State University
Penn State offers a ph. d. in Neural Engineering in its engineering
science and mechanics Department (ESM). Neural Engineering PhD course
requires prior knowledge of the nervous system, together with proven
basic engineering skills, such as applied mathematics, electrical and
magnetic interactions with biological tissue, and the ability to use
signal processing to analyze and interpret the neural activity. Former
ESM students who have earned a BS degree must complete 42 credits
include 24 course credits in ESM Department. ESM students who enter the
program with a m.s. degree are required to complete 18 course credits,
including 12 points in the ESM Department. Neural Engineering students
from other schools will have programs designed specifically for them.

University of Southern California
At the University of Southern Californina (USC), a Master of Science in
Biomedical Engineering with a specialty in Neuroengineering can be
completed by a full-time student for one year after obtaining a Bachelor
of Science degree. This master's degree provides students with a broad
and general context, linking Physiology with engineering, and prepares
them for a career in the field of neuroengineering or higher level
studies.

Johns Hopkins University
Johns Hopkins University offers a four-year-old Neuro-Engineering
Training Initiative (Neti) program that balances technology, mathematics
and computer science with molecular, cellular and systems neuroscience.
The program combines educational and research resources from the
school's engineering and medical departments. Neti students can choose
between a "sequential curriculum" and a "mixed curriculum." The
sequential curriculum requires that the first year consists of medical
school course and the second year consists of mathematics and
engineering courses; This track is best suited for students who want a
stronger life and clinical science perspective. The joint curriculum
blends Mathematics/Engineering and life science courses in the first two
years. This program is recommended for students who are looking for
strong engineering or basic science perspectives. Students serving as
teaching assistants during the third and fourth years, and let the
research from the second year until the end of their necessary papers.
