Concentrations

As Chemical Engineering majors, students should select the Bioengineering concentration.

Bioengineering
To complete the concentration in Bioengineering, students will be required to take 12 credit hours of bio-related chemical engineering courses consisting of the following:

  • Biochemical Engineering (was CHEG 273, now CHEG 3173); and
  • Three of the following courses:
    • Drug Delivery
    • Metabolic Engineering
    • Bioanalytical Techniques or
    • Undergraduate Research related to BioEngineering (3 credit hours max)

As Materials Science & Engineering majors, students should select the Biomaterials concentration.

Biomaterials
The four-course sequence, MCB 2000, CHEM 2443, BME 3700, and BME 4701, constitutes the Biomaterials concentration. These MSE professional and technical elective courses are appropriate for undergraduate students in their Junior and Senior years. The courses will review different biomaterials including, metals, ceramics, polymers, composites and natural materials, focusing on materials for hard tissue replacement, tissue engineering scaffolds, materials for drug delivery applications and other emerging fields.

 

All Biomaterials & Bioengineering undergraduates are encouraged to take courses in both programs.
