Mission and GoalsMission and Goals

The mission of the bioengineering program at ASU is to educate students to use engineering and scientific principles and methods to develop instrumentation, materials, diagnostic and therapeutic devices, artificial organs, or other equipment and technologies needed in medicine and biology and

to discover new fundamental principles regarding the functioning and structure of living systems. The overall goal of the program is to produce high-quality graduates with a broad-based education in engineering and the life and natural sciences who are well prepared for further graduate study in bioengineering, a career in the medical device or biotechnology industries, a career in biomedical

research, or entry into a medical or other health profession school.

The Bioengineering major at ASU is especially The Bioengineering major at ASU is especially designed for students desiring a career in the designed for students desiring a career in the

medical-device/biotechnology industry, a career medical-device/biotechnology industry, a career in biomedical research, a career in biotechnology in biomedical research, a career in biotechnology
