The Bioengineering course provides a
foundation in engineering design and the natural and
biological sciences. The course is designed to
acquaint students with current research and
problems in bioengineering by introducing them to
the application of engineering principles to
biological and medical problems. It provides
students with an understanding of the breadth of
bioengineering and the knowledge and skills
required to contribute to the development of the
rapidly growing field of bioengineering. The course
introduces the fundamentals of bioengineering,
provides information on cell and tissue engineering
and stem cell technologies, introduces biomechanics
and mechanobiological aspects, and explains the
biological performance of materials. Applications of
bioengineering are then explored, particularly for
biosensors and diagnostic systems, therapeutic
approaches, and drug delivery technologies,
followed by applications in various disciplines,
including but not limited to genetics, chemical
engineering, computer science, electrical
engineering, and environmental engineering.
