Bioengineering: Biomaterials Concentration, BS

Program Requirements


The undergraduate program in Bioengineering is built upon a rigorous engineering science foundation that is, in turn, based upon a broad curriculum of applied and life sciences, mathematics, electives in humanities, social science, and design. Students select a formal focus that concentrates in a subfield of interest in bioengineering: Bioelectrical Concentration or Biomaterials Concentration.

The curriculum provides undergraduates with a solid background in engineering and life sciences in preparation for advanced studies. Through the Bioengineering program, graduates acquire an understanding of biology, biochemistry, and physiology and the capability to apply advanced mathematics, including differential equations and statistics, science, and engineering, to solve the problems at the interface of engineering and biology. Graduates also have an ability to make measurements on and interpret data from living systems, addressing the problems associated with the interaction between living and nonliving materials and systems.

Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s Plan

Bioengineering undergraduates may begin a Master of Science degree program or a Master of Engineering degree program while completing the Bachelor of Science degree and use a limited number of courses to satisfy the requirements of both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Details are available from the Department of Bioengineering.
