Undergraduate - Bioengineering Program

undefined

The fastest growing segment of engineering today, bioengineering holds the promise of improving the lives of all people in very direct and diverse ways.


Bioengineering is the application of electrical, chemical, mechanical, and other engineering principles to understand, modify, or control biological systems. Examples of bioengineering advances include: artificial knee and hip joints, cardiac pacemakers, kidney dialysis machines, arthroscopic surgical tools, MRI and CAT Scanning systems, inhaleable insulin systems, automated defibrillators, genomics, and proteomics.
