BIOENGINEERING
Bachelor of Science in Engineering
Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET,
http://www.abet.org
College of Engineering and Computing
MIAMI UNIVERSITY
2020-2021
Bioengineering students learn to apply the concepts of chemistry, biochemistry, biological science, and
mathematics to solve problems in process engineering, product development, and research and
development.
Within the bioengineering curriculum, students choose among various areas of specialties by judicious
selection of required and elective courses. Areas of specialty include Bioinformatics and Computational
Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Bioprocessing, and Pre-medicine. Nationally, a large number of
Bioengineering graduates enter professional schools such as medicine (19% according to one survey).
About one-third of graduates go on to pursue graduate studies.
Opportunities are available to obtain valuable work experience and financial assistance in the co-op or
internship programs. Professional work experience before graduation enables students to be more valuable
to prospective employers. Students may also choose to work with their professors on research projects
(REU – Research Experience for Undergraduates). The REU program provides for financial assistance to
conduct research.
The Bachelor of Engineering with a major in Bioengineering) curriculum is arranged similarly to
traditional engineering programs where foundation courses are taken during the first two years,
engineering science courses occupy the second and third years, and bioengineering and the capstone
engineering design courses are concentrated in the final year. A suggested 4-year curriculum is described
in the following pages.
Each student is encouraged to take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam prior to graduation, preferably
in the senior year. The success at this has implication regarding gaining license as a professional engineer.
DIVISIONAL REQUIREMENT
DOUBLE MAJORS: Students with two majors in the College of Engineering and Computing must take a
minimum of 15 different/additional credit hours in their second major beyond the requirements of their
first major.
If you have any questions about these requirements, please contact your faculty academic advisor.
If you have questions you can contact the Chemical, Paper and Biomedical Engineering department at 513-529-
0760 or email at [email protected].
Master’s Programs
The College of Engineering and Computing offers several master’s degrees. Students have an
opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in five years by counting some courses
in both programs. If you are interested in pursuing such a program, please begin talking to an advisor
about course selection in your sophomore year.
