Bioengineering Welcomes Dr. Baowei Fei
The work of the world-class imaging scientist and cancer scholar has allowed medical physicians to more precisely pinpoint cancer cells for earlier diagnosis and treatment.
Professor’s Processor May End Silence for Those Without a Voice
Dr. Jun Wang is developing a silent speech processor in which a person’s lips and tongue movements will be recognized by a sensor and then translated into spoken words.
Bioengineer Has Designs on Smart Adhesives for Human Tissue
Dr. Taylor Ware has received a Faculty Early Career Development Award from the National Science Foundation for a project that may lead to improved medical devices.
Q&A: Meet IP Leading Lady Dr. Shalini Prasad
World Intellectual Property Day (April 26th) celebrates the importance of contributions in technology and culture while promoting the significance of intellectual property (IP) rights.
Bioengineering Research May Benefit Gene Therapy
By designing genetic “circuits” out of living cellular material, researchers hope to better understand and improve how proteins function.
We actively pursue research that leads to tech and knowledge transfer, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Our Approach
We have incorporated hands-on learning opportunities into our curriculum. Each semester, students are presented with engineering problems and are given the training and guidance needed to create highly technical solutions to these problems. Students are trained on the use of advanced bench top engineering equipment from network analyzers, digital oscilloscopes, and function generators so they can design, test and build medical devices.
Students graduate from our program able to successfully navigate medical school or as competent engineers able to develop medical devices.
