The Bioengineering program integrates engineering science, rigorous mathematical tools and a quantitative approach to the life sciences and applies this spectrum of knowledge in an interdisciplinary fashion to provide solutions to basic and applied biological and medical problems. This goal will be accomplished by offering to the students an integrated set of courses aimed at providing a thorough introduction to the complex and interdisciplinary field of Bioengineering:

• Teach engineering science, analysis, and design in the context of quantitative approaches to solving life science and medicine-related problems.
• Integrate interdisciplinary aspects of biology, physiology, and engineering within courses and design projects.
• Emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of Bioengineering, in terms of problem solving, design, within the framework of interdisciplinary teams focusing on the dialogue between "biology-inspired engineering" and "biology as a specific arm of applied engineering principles."
• Immerse students in key life science and medical principles, while focusing on understanding cell/molecular-level events through quantitative analysis and modeling.
• Provide an exceptional learning environment with significant instruction by Bioengineering faculty and researchers in collaboration with experts from other fields, especially the Health Science Campus.

In this curriculum, incoming students will first and foremost be trained as solid Temple engineers, focusing on applying engineering science, design, and analysis to real life problems specifically in the areas of biology and medicine. Hands-on engineering experience will be gained through intense laboratory coursework and by solving real-life biomedical problems.

Bioengineering study leads to careers in several fields.

Students must select from one of three concentrations in:

• Cellular Engineering,
• Engineering Devices, or
• Pre-Health.

Engineering Devices Concentration

A concentration in Engineering Devices provides students with the skills to apply engineering principles to design and develop instruments, implants and imaging modalities. A range of courses include topics covering biomechanics, bioinstrumentation and bioimaging.
