BIOENGINEERING BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM This program leads to the degree, Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a major in Bioengineering College of Engineering and Computing MIAMI UNIVERSITY 2014-2015 Bioengineering students learn to apply the concepts of chemistry, biochemistry, biological science, and mathematics to solve problems in process engineering, product development, and research and development. Within the bioengineering curriculum, students choose among various areas of concentrations by judicious selection of required and elective courses. Areas of concentration include Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Bioprocessing, and Pre-medicine. Nationally, a large number of Bioengineering graduates enter professional schools such as medicine (19% according to one survey). About one-third of graduates go on to pursue graduate studies. Opportunities are available to obtain valuable work experience and financial assistance in the co-op or internship programs. Professional work experience before graduation enables students to be more valuable to prospective employers. Students may also choose to work with their professors on research projects (REU Research Experience for Undergraduates). The REU program provides for financial assistance to conduct research. The Bachelor of Engineering with a major in Bioengineering) curriculum is arranged similarly to traditional engineering programs where foundation courses are taken during the first two years, engineering science courses occupy the second and third years, and bioengineering and the capstone engineering design courses are concentrated in the final year. A suggested 4-year curriculum is described in the following pages. Each student is encouraged to take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam prior to graduation, preferably in the senior year. The success at this has implication regarding gaining license as a professional engineer. Master s Programs The College of Engineering and Computing offers several master s degrees. Students have an opportunity to earn a bachelor s degree and a master s degree in five years by counting some courses in both programs. If you are interested in pursuing such a program, please begin talking to an advisor about course selection in your sophomore year.
