1 UIC Bioengineering

2 What is Bioengineering? Biology meets Engineering The term bioengineering is often used interchangeably with: Biomedical Engineering synonymous (as far as accreditation goes ABET) Biological Engineering not the same Biotechnology not the same Bioengineering is the application of engineering design to solve problems that involve living systems.

3 Bioengineering fields Bionanotechnology Biomaterials Bioinformatics Neural Engineering Medical Imaging & Bio-Optics Biosensors & Electronics Rehabilitation Engineering Genetic Engineering Cell & Tissue Engineering Biotransport & Drug Delivery Biomechanics Bioinstrumentation

4 Jobs in Bioengineering Developing implantable medical devices such as cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators; artificial blood vessels, kidneys, joints Using machines to monitor patients during an operation in intensive care, including the heart s electrical activity and rate, blood pressure, and body temperature Designing noninvasive instruments for monitoring, diagnosis, and rehabilitation, such as automated analysis of medical images Teaching, managing, sales or consulting Designing clinical laboratories, hospitals and other health care delivery units which emphasize patient and employee safety Research: using engineering approaches to aid the study of biology, disease, injury and therapeutics.

5 Why become a Bioengineer? Because you have a high interest in: Life Sciences & Applied Science/Technology

6 High salary for Bioengineering Average Starting Salaries for Biomedical Engineers* B.S. = $53,470 M.S.=$67,360 PhD.=$77,520 Biomedical Engineer salaries for the highest 10% are more than $119,260. Of the 16,100* biomedical engineers employed nationwide, most are employed in medical equipment and supplies manufacturing. Other large employing groups include pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing, scientific and research development services, and general medical and surgical hospitals. *Source

8 Education Bachelor s Degree B.S. Bioengineering Master s Degree M.S. Bioengineering Doctorate s Degree PhD Bioengineering ~4 year degree, completing general education requirements and essential courses in bioengineering Expected to improve society through engineering analysis and design ~2 year degree, completing advanced bioengineering courses and a moderate research project Expected to advance boundaries between engineering practice and research ~4 year degree, completing advanced bioengineering courses and a major research project Expected to identify engineering problems important to society and to create new knowledge and technologies

9 UIC Bioengineering at a glance Founded in 1965, the program today has grown to: 270 UGs, 50 MS, and 110 PhD. Third in nation to be ABET Accredited. One of first ten bioengineering programs to receive National Institutes of Health (NIH) training grant. Historically, B.S. graduates enter positions in industry (40%), professional schools, such as Medical school (30%), and graduate schools (30%). We have 25 core faculty members with over 100 adjunct faculty across the Colleges of Engineering, Medicine, Liberal Arts & Sciences, Applied Health Sciences, Dentistry, & Pharmacy, as well as from Rush, Loyola, University of Chicago, Northwestern.

10 Why UIC Bioengineering? One of the first degree-granting Bioengineering programs in the nation (1965) Home to the largest Medical School in the Country and in the same metropolitan region as 5 major academic medical research centers Best of the best undergraduate students at UIC Most gender-balanced engineering field UIC ranks first in percentage enrollment of underrepresented minorities when compared with the top 19 members of the AAU in this category UIC is ranked 3 rd in the nation for universities under 50 years old Recent $6.5 million gift to the department by alumni Richard and Loan Hill

11 Admissions requirements College of Engineering Minimum Requirements: Be at least 16 years of age Be a graduate of an accredited high school or submit passing scores on the General Educational Development Test (GED) 3.5 years of Mathematics 2 years of Laboratory Science Bioengineering Recommendation: 4 years of Mathematics and Science Emphasis on Honors or Advanced Placement Courses Complete the American College Test (ACT) or the College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or Scholastic Assessment Test I(SAT-I) Present a satisfactory combination of class rank and test scores College of Engineering Mean: ACT (composite) ; th percentile class rank
