UW Bioengineering’s rigorous undergraduate and graduate programs produce students prepared to succeed in industry.
- Our undergraduates learn hard engineering skills (mathematics, instrumentation, fluid dynamics, transport phenomena) as well as biotechnology concepts (physiology, protein structure and design). Download What is a BioE Student flyer for more details (PDF)
- Our new Master of Applied (MAB) program draws more experienced students, and integrates engineering design and entrepreneurship education to creatively address unresolved clinical issues. Students complete an industry internship at the end of their program. Download Master of Applied Bioengineering flyer for more details (PDF)
