BS Bioengineering at George Mason University

Programme overview

Bioengineering, also referred to as biomedical engineering, is the application of engineering tools and approaches to solve problems in biology and medicine. It is a broad and growing ﬁeld that draws upon rapid advances in technology and computation, as well as on unprecedented growth in basic biological understanding. This program provides i) a scientific foundation in math, physics, biology, chemistry and physiology; ii) broad introductions to bioengineering technology platforms of medical imaging, devices, computational biomedical engineering, computational neuroscience and neurotechnology, biomaterials and nanomedicine, and health care informatics followed by a deepening of knowledge in at least one of these areas through a chosen concentration; and iii) translational courses showing how new technologies can be implemented in clinical medicine and be commercialized by industry partne
