Objectives & Outcomes

The program has the following major educational objectives with the expectation that our alumni will have successful careers in the many diverse areas of bioengineering profession.  Within a few years of obtaining a bachelor’s degree in bioengineering, we expect our graduates to have the following attributes:

At the time of graduation, graduates from our program will have:

1. Depth: To be effective in applying life science concepts and bioengineering principles in engineering practice or for advanced study.

• an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
• an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
• an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts

• an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation,  analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions

2. Breadth: To have productive careers in the many diverse areas of bioengineering or in pursuit of graduate studies in engineering, law, medicine or business.

• an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts

• an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

3. Professionalism: To function effectively in the complex modern work environment with the ability to assume professional leadership roles.

• an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
• an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
• an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
• an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
