Bioengineering Concentration in General Engineering Major

The program starts in the freshman year with an Introduction to Bioengineering (ENGR 10) and will culminate with the capstone seminar (ENGr 190) and a senior design project. In addition to the University core, the curriculum consists of three technical core areas, a capstone, and specialization electives. For each component, the number of credits is listed, adding up to a total of 191 units.
