Objectives and Goals
Bioengineering is a foundation area within the Scholarly Concentration program. It focuses on the intersection between engineering and medicine - from molecular to systems bioengineering - and includes technologies such as computer methods, medical imaging, biosensors, and minimally invasive therapeutic devices.
Requirements
Students who pursue Bioengineering in conjunction with an application area, such as Immunology, are required to complete 6 units including:
MED 289 (BioE 390) Introduction to Bioengineering Research (2 units)
The other 4 core Bioengineering units can be selected from a wide selection of courses in four sub-areas (Musculoskeletal, Cardiovascular, Bio-design, or Tissue Engineering), and/or undertake directed study with any faculty member associated with the Bioengineering Scholarly Concentration.
Students interested in completing all 12 units in Bioengineering can select classes from four sub-areas (Musculoskeletal, Cardiovascular, Bio-design, or Tissue Engineering), and/or undertake directed study with any faculty member associated with the Bioengineering Scholarly Concentration.
