Bioengineering is an interdisciplinary field in which the techniques, materials, devices and resourcefulness of engineers are used to address problems in biology and healthcare. Lessons from biology are used to inspire design and inform progress in engineering. This synergy between biology and engineering has led to implantable materials, diagnostic devices, sensors, and molecular characterization techniques, and has produced tools that greatly expedite the sequencing of the human genome.

The undergraduate major in Bioengineering is designed to provide you with both breadth and depth in two exciting and rapidly expanding fields: tissue engineering and nanobioengineering.
