About Bioengineering (bs) in Stanford University
The Stanford Bioengineering major enables students to combine engineering and the life sciences in ways that advance scientific discovery, healthcare and medicine, manufacturing, environmental quality, culture, education, and policy. Students who major in BioE earn a fundamental engineering degree for which the raw materials, underlying basic sciences, fundamental toolkit, and future frontiers are all defined by the unique properties of living systems.
Students will complete engineering fundamentals courses, including an introduction to bioengineering and computer programming. A series of core BIOE classes beginning in the second year leads to a student-selected depth area and a senior capstone design project. The department also organizes a summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. BIOE graduates are well prepared to pursue careers and lead projects in research, medicine, business, law, and policy.
The learning outcomes are used in evaluating students as well as the department's undergraduate program. The department expects undergraduate majors in the program to be able to demonstrate the ability to:
-
Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
-
Design and conduct experiments, as well to analyze and interpret data.
-
Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.
-
Function on multidisciplinary teams.
-
