The Bioengineering Concentration will be offered in Fall 2009.

The concentration will provide engineering students with domain specific knowledge related to the bioengineering industry. This will enable them to utilize their engineering skills more effectively in technological areas where biology and engineering come together. This in-depth knowledge will make students more competitive in their search for employment in the biotechnology industry.
