BE Ph.D. Program Bioengineering Track Electives

Bioengineering Electives

To add breadth in bioengineering, the student will choose one course from a short list of BE subjects in certain areas not represented in the core but in our view, very important to the future of bioengineering. These specific areas are: (i) Biomaterials, (ii) Biological Instrumentation & Measurement, and (iii) Bioinformatics & Computational Biology.
