Grow human cells on aortic roots, investigate the long-term wear of replacement hip joints, and create implants using both biological and synthetic materials. These impressive technological advancements represent just a portion of the outstanding research conducted in Clemson's bioengineering laboratories. Throughout your coursework and laboratory sessions, you will develop a comprehensive knowledge of biology, biochemistry, and physiology, graduating with the ability to use advanced mathematics to address the growing challenges that require the integration of engineering and biology. Daily, you will collaborate closely with professors in laboratory research exploring how engineers—working alongside physicians—can assist the human body in preventing and resolving medical issues. First-year engineering students at Clemson begin in our general engineering program, providing a year to investigate various engineering fields, connect with faculty from all engineering departments, and identify the major that aligns with your individual interests and abilities. On the admissions application, you will apply as a general engineering major.
