The growing field of bioengineering between biomolecules and chemistry, physics and biology. The program’s flexible curriculum includes biomedical products and ranges from its traditional applications in technical design, basic and applied chemicals and develop theory, problem-solving techniques and experimental work. Small classes develop new drugs research, health professions and industry, particularly the medical device new processes encourage professor-student interactions and the senior process design industry, to business, investing, intellectual property law and government, course utilizes the expertise of industrial colleagues from local chemical including the regulation of patents and medical devices. and pharmaceutical companies. The Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) degree in Bioengineering, the The CBE program’s interdisciplinary approach prepares students for fully accredited flagship professional engineering degree, provides rigorous leadership roles in industry, academia and the public sector in a variety preparation for professional practice in a great variety of engineering and of technical areas including energy storage and conversion, chemical, technical fields. The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree in Biomedical petro-chemical and materials processing, biotechnology, pharmaceutical Sciences presents an option for a more flexible curriculum in bioengineering manufacturing and environmental remediation. for those with broader interests. Pre-medical students may choose either the BSE or BAS degree program. Both are identical for the first two years, and students may easily change from one to the other as their career plans become clearer.
