The College of Engineering - Bioengineering

Essence of the Concentration

Major Program Goals

Bioengineering research and development is a field of employment with increasing employment opportunities as mentioned above.  The proposed concentration will not only afford students the opportunity to explore potential careers, but it will also foster greater interdepartmental and intercollegiate student and faculty interaction.  This concentration will prepare our students for expected employment situations where employees are expected to work in a team environment with experts from various backgrounds.

Specific Objectives of Program

• Introduce students to several disciplines with aspects of bioengineering
• Enhance understanding of interdisciplinary work of scientists and engineers in research and development
• Realize the different approaches taken by biologists, chemists, and engineers in solving problems
• Develop an understanding about the problems involved for product design
• Collect and integrate information from various sources

Interact with students of different majors and backgrounds in project groups
