Bioengineering
The undergraduate program in Bioengineering combines education in engineering and biological sciences, forming a unique experience to prepare students for today’s technical challenges in medicine and biology. Our focus is on developing engineers who can apply an analytic approach to solving problems in living systems. Thus, we provide students with a comprehensive education in both engineering and the life sciences. Students enrolled in the program will be prepared for continued graduate studies or a career in a bioengineering-related industry. The program also provides a solid undergraduate education for further studies in a school of medicine. The Bioengineering Program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Bioengineering, Biomedical and Similarly Named Engineering Programs Program Criteria.
The mission of the Department of Bioengineering in the Swanson School of Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh is to:
- provide a high-quality engineering education to both undergraduate and graduate students; and
- be a leader in research specific areas encompassed by bioengineering.
Upon completion of the Undergraduate Bioengineering Program, and/or within a few years of graduation, our alumni will be able to:
- Gain employment in professional careers (i.e., an industrial career in bioengineering or related field); and/or
- Enroll in graduate studies (graduate school: MS and PhD programs related to bioengineering, or professional school: e.g., Medical, Dental, Health-Related).
