Overview

The educational approach of the Bioengineering Ph.D. program at the University of Maryland is to combine the principles and applications embedded in engineering with the sciences of biology, medicine, and health.

The motivation for many of the research projects stems from the belief that developments at the interface of biology and engineering will advance the efficacy of health care by developing new paradigms for the diagnosis of disease, and the development and delivery of new therapeutics.

Outcomes

Bioengineering students will gain the knowledge base and skill sets to quantitatively measure, and rationally manipulate cells, tissues, and integrated systems.

Bioengineers must bring problem solving skills and design methodologies to the study of biology in an effort to translate the biological sciences into medical practice in an analogous manner to the transformation of chemistry into industrial practice that occurred in the 20th century.
