Bioengineering

专业介绍

The BioE Program is interdisciplinary in that it is not a standalone academic unit like most departments or schools at Georgia Tech. This interdisciplinary graduate program offers advanced courses in bioengineering, engineering specialties, and life sciences combined with training in cutting-edge bioengineering research. The BioEngineering MS degree offered by all home schools with a thesis option requires the writing of a master’s thesis on an independent study of a bioengineering research topic under the guidance of a bioengineering program faculty member. Bioengineering research focuses on the development of new or improved physical and mathematical concepts and techniques that may be applied to problems in medicine and biology, including the fundamental study of biological phenomena and development of new medical devices. Some home schools also offer a coursework-only, non-thesis option. 

Eight different academic units from the Colleges of Engineering, Computing, and Design make up the program. The BioE Program provides research opportunities for students with any participating program faculty, allowing tremendous diversity and flexibility for research topics and advisors.
