Program Overview
Bioengineering Innovation and Design, Master of Science in Engineering
The Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID), housed in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, focuses on the design aspect of Biomedical Engineering. This exciting program gives students opportunities to design, develop, build, and test devices that solve some of the most pressing problems facing clinicians today.
Mission
The mission of CBID is to:
- Improve human health by developing medical devices that solve important clinical problems
- Educate a new generation of medical device engineers and fellows
- Facilitate technology transfer and industry collaboration
Curriculum
The Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design MSE program is intended for a student with an undergraduate degree in an engineering discipline and who also may have industry or research experience. The 12-month program begins at the start of summer and runs continuously through the fall and spring semesters. Students will graduate with a Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) in Bioengineering Innovation and Design degree in late May at the Homewood campus commencement. Students must complete 46-48 approved credits for degree completion.
