PROGRAM OBJECTIVES AND INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES

The objectives of the program are:

  1. To provide a holistic learning experience to our students so that they will graduate with a good balance of engineering knowledge and professional skills, a desire to pursue lifelong learning, and a commitment to solving societal problems; and
  2. To enable our graduates to be successful in their chosen career path, whether in the practice of bioengineering, in advanced studies in related fields, or in other professions that demand a strong engineering training.

Graduates of this program should be able to:

  1. Apply knowledge in bioengineering and its underlying disciplines in a wide range of settings;
  2. Conduct experiments and analyze data in the realm of bioengineering;
  3. Design processes or products creatively to meet societal needs, as well as to evaluate critically such designs by others, in the realm of bioengineering;
  4. Function effectively in multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary teams;
  5. Identify, formulate and solve engineering problems in the realm of bioengineering;
  6. Exercise integrity and uphold professional and ethical responsibilities as engineers
  7. Communicate effectively both in writing and orally;
  8. Develop an awareness of contemporary issues as they relate to bioengineering;
  9. Pursue lifelong learning as self-regulated learners;
  10. Select and use appropriate engineering tools and data effectively.
