Bioengineering Program
After 3 to 5 years after graduation, our graduates will:
- Be successful in Bioengineering careers or post-graduate educational pursuits by applying scientific depth, technical skills, and knowledge gained through practical experiences.
- Address the biomedical and biotechnological challenges facing society in both the near and long term by demonstrating an awareness of their field and an ability for lifelong learning.
- Serve their profession, promote equity and justice through technology, and positively impact society by drawing upon a foundation of professional ethics.
Biocomputational Engineering
After 3 to 5 years after graduation, our graduates will:
- Be successful in Biocomputational Engineering careers or post-graduate educational pursuits by applying scientific depth, technical skills, and knowledge gained through practical experiences.
- Address the data-driven computational biomedical challenges facing society in both the near and long term by demonstrating an awareness of their field and an ability for lifelong learning.
- Serve their profession, promote equity and justice through technology, and positively impact society by drawing upon a foundation of professional ethics.
The Bioengineering and Biocomputational Engineering programs use the following ABET learning outcomes:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
In addition, the Bioengineering undergraduate program is using the following outcomes:
- Applying principles of engineering, biology, human physiology, chemistry, calculus-based physics, mathematics (through differential equations), and statistics
- Solving bio/biomedical engineering problems, including those associated with the interaction between living and non-living systems
- Analyzing, modeling, designing and realizing bio/biomedical engineering devices, systems, components, or processes
- Making measurements on and interpreting data from living systems
