Program Educational Objectives
The goal of our BS BIOE program is to prepare our graduates for industry, graduate programs, and medicine. Students who graduate from our BS BIOE program will be prepared to:
- Apply fundamental principles from mathematics, physics, chemistry, computing, engineering, and biology to solve biomedical and biotechnological problems
- Derive design principles from nature and apply them to solve biomedical problems and to develop bioengineering technologies
- Work in multidisciplinary teams and communicate problems and their solutions effectively with physicians, scientists, and other engineers
- Take ethical and social issues into consideration in solving bioengineering problems
- Continue to develop technical knowledge, awareness, and leadership abilities to address domestic or global issues in human health
ABET Student Learning Outcomes
Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have:
- An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
- An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
- An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs
- An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
- An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
- An ability to communicate effectively
- The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context
- A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning
- A knowledge of contemporary issues
- An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
BIOE programs must demonstrate that graduates have:
- An understanding of biology and physiology
- 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
- The ability to make measurements on and interpret data from living systems, addressing the problems associated with the interactions between living and non-living materials and systems
