At the intersection of engineering, biology, and chemistry, you’ll discover bioengineering. Bioengineering is one of the fastest-growing engineering disciplines, with a high demand in the medical sector.
Bioengineers design and develop devices, systems, and techniques to improve patient diagnosis, treatment, and care. They utilize biotechnology to produce personalized drugs, to make biofuels and biopolymers, to engineer tissues to replace damaged organs, to grow human tissue for drug testing, and to create new diagnostic techniques.
UMassD's bioengineering program brings together the life sciences, medicine, and engineering to provide a solid academic foundation and a broad interdisciplinary approach to the field. You will: develop your critical thinking skills; learn to evaluate with a broad perspective; identify and solve problems creatively.
Bioengineering is creating its own frontiers of development. You’ll join a new generation of innovators and leaders in fields with significant and growing employment opportunities including health care, public health, biomanufacturing, and biomedical engineering. The department also offers a BS degree in bioengineering with a concentration in biomedical engineering.
Your education will prepare you to contribute to the profession in an ethical and socially responsible manner and to work effectively to further your career and to benefit society.
Bioengineering major
The undergraduate bioengineering program provides multidisciplinary training that integrates the engineering sciences, life sciences, bio-research, and material design. A total of 120 credits are required for the degree and include courses in engineering, biology, chemistry, math, physics, English, and University Studies.
You’ll take 120 credits including: 66 credits in engineering (including general, mechanical, electrical and bioengineering); 7 credits in chemistry; 47 credits in an array of course work: math (15), physics (8), English (9) and University Studies (15).
During your senior year, you will complete a capstone design project that provides real-world experience defined by current industry needs.
Biomedical engineering concentration
The Bioengineering Department also offers a bachelor's degree in bioengineering with a concentration in biomedical engineering: the biological and medical application of engineering principles in healthcare.
UMassD advantages
Capstone projects: most senior engineering students work on real-world, industry-specific challenges that demand analysis, proposals, prototypes, and solutions.
Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship: UMassD's business incubator in Fall River offers opportunities to work with UMassD faculty members and start-up companies.
Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research: This interdisciplinary center provides collaboration opportunities and on-campus supercomputing facilities for faculty and students interested computationally-driven research.
Internships & co-op: gain hands-on experience that will be valuable for career success.
UMassD’s proximity to the Greater Boston area provides easy access to an epicenter of biotechnology/pharmaceuticals/medical devices companies.
