Team Builds Low-Energy Carbon Dioxide Sensor
Bioengineers have created a first-of-its-kind sensor for real-time measurements of carbon dioxide and relative humidity — using a technique conceived while washing dishes.
Bioengineering Faculty to Research Clinical Application of Powered Prosthetic Legs
Dr. Robert Gregg and Dr. Nicholas Fey recently secured funding from the National Institutes of Health to research the clinical application of variable-activity powered prosthetic legs for five years.
Lower-Limb Exoskeleton Research Featured on Cover of IEEE Control Systems Magazine
Gregg’s Locomotor Control Systems Laboratory explores various innovations that assist individuals with mobility including lower-limb exoskeletons.
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.
We actively pursue research that leads to tech and knowledge transfer, innovation and entrepreneurship.
BIOENGINEERING OVERVIEW
The Bioengineering Department at UT Dallas offers an undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering and graduate degrees in biomedical engineering as part of collaboration with The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas
The Bioengineering Difference
Academics
With access to advanced technology, highly trained engineers, and clinicians and practitioners in the field; we provide a unique environment that cultivates creativity. Learn More
Faculty
Our faculty work in a range of disciplines and conduct groundbreaking research; as leaders in their fields, they provide students with a myriad of opportunities Learn More
Facilities
The $108 million, 220,000-square-foot Bioengineering and Sciences Building recently opened and houses state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for conducting cutting-edge research. Learn More
Research
Our bioengineers work at the intersection of engineering and the life sciences, developing new technologies that improve people’s health and well-being. Learn More
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.
Latest News
We are offering four biomedical engineering courses in Summer 2019. Please register for courses as soon as possible.
Upcoming Events
Come see the latest biomedical engineering student innovation as UTDesign team present their work at UTDesign Expo on May 3.
