Master of Bioengineering - Applied Bioengineering track

The Master of Bioengineering degree is intended for those having a BA or BS degree in an engineering or science discipline. There are two tracks in the MBE program: The Applied Bioengineering track is designed as a flexible degree for students who will pursue careers in research, medicine, or related fields. The Global Medical Innovation (GMI) track is designed specifically for students who will pursue a career in the global medical technology industry. Learning Outcomes for the Applied track—Graduates awarded the MBE in Bioengineering in the Applied track will be able to: Apply and integrate advanced knowledge of Bioengineering topics in at least one of the following areas: Biomaterials and Drug Delivery, Biomedical Imaging and Diagnostics, Computational and Theoretical Bioengineering, Tissue Engineering and Biomechanics, or Systems and Synthetic Biology. Apply knowledge from engineering and other disciplines to identify, formulate, and solve novel and complex problems that require advanced knowledge in bioengineering. Select and apply quantitative analytic techniques to analyze bioengineering data. Gain admission to a graduate or professional program, if students want to pursue further education. Applied Bioengineering Track Curriculum Requirements The applied track requires: 15 credit hours of graduate level bioengineering courses, 9 credit hours of graduate level professional development electives chosen from a specific list of approved courses. 3 credit hours of graduate level general electives, 3 credit hours of graduate level course in MATH, CAAM, or STAT (400-level courses may be considered, and BIOE 539 may count toward this requirement). If a student is taking a course which is cross-listed with a BIOE course, the course should be taken under the MATH, STAT or CAAM designation, not as a BIOE course. All students must maintain an average GPA of 3.0 or higher.
