Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering - Bioengineering Engineering

Rochester Institute of Technology

Bioengineering is the application of engineering fundamentals to the principles of biology, the life sciences, and the physical sciences. Bioengineering applies engineering fundamentals to the principles of biology, the life sciences, and the physical sciences. The result is the creation of advanced solutions to some of the most pressing biological challenges, from the environment, agriculture, and genetic engineering, to pharmaceuticals, medicine, and health care. This option is part of the mechanical engineering BS degree. RIT's mechanical engineering BS in bioengineering begins with a course sequence that starts in the third year of your mechanical engineering program. This ensures that you have developed the foundational mechanical engineering skills needed for specialization in more advanced coursework that focuses on the principles and dynamics of bioengineering. Bioengineering courses include an introductory course (Contemporary Issues in Bioengineering) followed by courses in areas such as fluid mechanics, biomaterials, biomechanics and biorobotics, biomechatronics, and more.
