BioEngineering

Master of Science in Bioengineering

 

MS BIOE Overview

The MS BIOE is evidence of ability to work as an engineer and researcher who is capable of some independent investigation and who can present the results of that investigation cogently. The holder of the Master's degree will have completed significant course work and a thesis that describes an independent investigation and will have passed a final examination of the research underlying the thesis.

The general goals and objectives for the Master's degree are:

  1. To provide bioengineers with an in-depth understanding of mathematics, engineering principles, physics, chemistry, physiology, and modern biology.
  2. To train bioengineers to apply basic sciences to medical and biological problems, using engineering principles.
  3. To train bioengineers to recognize and provide engineering solutions to clinical problems.
  4. To train students to do bioengineering research.
  5. To train students to teach bioengineering at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
  6. To train students to apply bioengineering research to commercially viable problems.

Note: not all students need to be trained in all areas.
