Career Opportunities

Pharmaceutical and device industries:  An increased demand for efficiency in research and drug development, implantable tissues and devices means industry is seeking graduates with computational and integrative bioengineering training. New companies are emerging focusing on  genetics, acquired, and infectious diseases. Systems analysis, feedback and control systems, and operational analysis are important aspects of designing large projects.

Academia: There is a great need for quantitative analysis and integration of knowledge in order to predict and understand  phenotype and functioning of the organism as a result of the giant strides made in understanding the genome and proteome.

Degree Programs

Course credit requirements for MS and PhD degrees are those listed for the department (see also below). These will be more or less evenly spread among bioengineering courses, engineering courses offered by other departments, and biological courses offered by other departments. Bioengineering courses will aim at conveying in detail some specific areas of research and expose the students to a variety of state of the art, current enabling technologies (i.e. software and hardware; typically, more than one). The thesis and research topics might be in any area related to the expertise of the faculty, and will most likely be among currently funded research areas. Other programs on the UW campus in related areas are:
