BS BIOE Overview
The Bachelor of Science degree in Bioengineering (BS BIOE) bridges the gap between engineering and biological sciences. Students who earn a BS BIOE will be prepared to go to medical school, graduate school, or industry. Highly qualified students who can accelerate their study also have the option to work on a combined BS/MS degree.
Like all engineering majors, the Department of Bioengineering asks students to prepare for entry to the program by taking introductory coursework in math, science and engineering fundamentals. In our junior level courses, undergraduates will be exposed to principles of bioengineering, including systems analysis, transport, instrumentation, signal processing, and the quantitative analysis of physiological systems. During the senior year, students typically focus in one of the department's five areas of research: Distributed Diagnosis and Home Healthcare (D2H2), Engineered Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering, Molecular Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, Medical Imaging and Image-Guided Therapy, and Computational and Integrative Bioengineering. Students focus through the selection of elective courses and through the senior capstone project.
