Offered by: Bioengineering Program
Administered by: Undergraduate Programs, 167 Olin Hall
Eligibility: All undergraduates in the College of Engineering can participate in this option. Students may participate in only one of these areas of interest: the Bioengineering option, the Biological Engineering major or minor, and the Biomedical Engineering minor.
Educational Objectives: To provide students with a guided, coherent, individualized plan of exploration in bioengineering. Bioengineering consists of subjects that fall at the interface between engineering and life science. It involves bioprocesses, bioenvironmental engineering, biomedical devices, biomaterials, biomolecular engineering, systems biology, and more.
Requirements:
Students must enroll in the option before their sixth semester. A bioengineering faculty consultant will assist students with course selections and career choices in bioengineering. At least 12 credit hours consisting of two to three bioengineering courses, one to two biological sciences courses, and 1 credit of BMW 501 Bioengineering Seminar. A list of approved courses can be found in Engineering Advising, 167 Olin Hall. These courses can satisfy other degree requirements simultaneously and are not necessarily four additional courses. These four courses must be selected from two categories: science-based courses and bioengineering courses.
Academic Standards: Letter grade of C- or better for each course in the option. S in the Bioengineering Seminar.
Notation: Official notation on transcript.
