The undergraduate bioengineering program centers on two primary objectives: 1) Creating novel biological systems and capabilities, and 2) Utilizing engineering concepts to understand biological design principles. Through courses covering cellular biophysics, biological networks, molecular bioengineering, biological device development, and artificial biology, students gain expertise in engineering fundamentals, biotech applications, and core biological science concepts. Graduates emerge with robust computational and laboratory skills, preparing them for advanced studies or professional paths in biomedical engineering, biotech, healthcare analytics, and the ever-growing field of biology-based technologies. Research initiatives in bioengineering receive support from the Donna and Benjamin M. Rosen Bioengineering Center, which sponsors interdisciplinary projects and student fellowships.
