Bioengineering Focus Area
Bioengineering concentrates on combining biological science and engineering to study, define and utilize the interaction of these disciplines to solve engineering problems.  It focuses on the  utilization of plants and animals for the benefit of humans and to maintain a healthy environment.  Students in the area need a strong background in biology, particularly at the cellular and organism level, chemistry, fluids, processing, thermodynamics, and physiology.
