Grow human cells on aortic roots, investigate the long-term wear of replacement hip joints, and create implants using both living and nonliving components. These impressive technological advances represent just a fraction of the outstanding research conducted in Clemson's bioengineering laboratories. In your coursework and laboratory sessions, you'll develop a comprehensive understanding of biology, biochemistry, and physiology, graduating with the ability to use advanced mathematics to address the growing number of challenges that require engineering to intersect with biology. Daily, you'll collaborate directly with professors in the laboratory, researching 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 explore 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'll apply as a general engineering major.
