Discover Bioengineering
The world of bioengineering, also known as biomedical engineering, has expanded immensely and continues to grow at a rapid pace, creating new opportunities for engineers who have knowledge of biological sciences, chemistry and physical systems.
Students in the program explore biomechanical, bioelectrical, biotransport and biomaterial topics. Within the bioengineering program there is a specialized pathway that supports pre-health and pre-medical students as they complete the requirements for admission to professional programs. Within a few years of graduation, graduates of the Bioengineering program are expected to be able to:
- Apply engineering solutions to biomedical, human health or biological challenges
- Engage in lifelong learning and pursue advanced level studies
- Demonstrate ethical leadership, collaboration and communication skills in their profession
As a bioengineer, you can impact the quality of life of patients. Career options are wide-ranging and include medical research, design of medical instruments, biorobotics and even intellectual property law.
The Bioengineering (B.S.) program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org, under the commision's General Criteria and Program criteria for Bioengineering and Biomedical and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
