Biomechanical Engineering explores fluid dynamics, heat transfer, elastic and dynamic mechanisms, and materials within biological organisms. Research focuses on advancing both theoretical and practical engineering insights concerning biomechanical systems, while applying engineering concepts to create biological materials, treat illnesses, and enhance medical device functionality. Substantial research is dedicated to unraveling the fundamental mechanisms behind aging and disease in living organisms. Faculty members collaborate across disciplines in these key areas: (1) Investigating the characteristics of rigid biological tissues (such as bone, dentin, and enamel), synthetic replacements, their interfaces, and innovating manufacturing techniques for biological and biomedical applications in dentistry and medicine. (2) Examining the mechanical responses of flexible particles, including living cells, and how hydrodynamic and external forces affect them, along with rapid assessment methods for cellular mechanical properties.

Qualification Requirements
The Graduate School recommends applicants have at least a 3.0 GPA or B average when applying.
For transcripts from schools abroad, the UMBC Graduate School will accept official WES (World Education Services) ICAP Course-by-Course evaluations but note that these evaluations are not required.
Students who are unable to meet the minimum GPA standards may still be admitted to graduate study by demonstrating outstanding performance on one or more of the graduate aptitude tests or by providing letters of recommendation from evaluators who can speak to the applicant's performance as a student or in a professional capacity.
Standards for admission to a doctoral program are generally higher than those for admission to a master's program. The terms of this admission are based on specific recommendations made by the applicant's department in conjunction with the Graduate School.
minimum TOEFL score of 80
TOEFL Essentials test is 8.5. Our ETS institution code is 5835.
The IELTS minimum is a total score of 6.5 for students wishing to study at UMBC.
GPA - 3.3 (on 4.0 scale).
