Find outwhat's possibleRutgers is the only university that

offers an engineering-based cur-

riculum in packaging. Graduates of

the packaging engineering program

at Rutgers are in high demand

by industry throughout the United

States.

Applied sciences in engineering

students can pursue either a four-

year bachelor of science degree

or a fve-year combined bachelor

of arts degree in a liberal arts area

with the bachelor of science degree

in engineering.

In our "Surface Decoration of

Packaging" course, students learn

about the fundamental principles of

printing techniques used on glass,

metal, plastic, paper, and compos-

ite packages.

As a member of Pi Kappa

Gamma, the packaging

honorary society, you will h

access to co-op education

opportunities, information a

networking sessions with

industry professionals, plan

tours, and the annual

PackExpo convention,

where you will get hands-o

experience with state-of-th

art packaging technology.

With the help of a faculty committee, you

can pick and choose courses from other Rutgers

engineering programs and build a curriculum that

prepares you to fulll your goals. The last two years

of your program will be developed in close consul-

tation with the dean to meet your special interests.

Three possible areas of specialization:

lBiomedical science and engineering

Just like premedicine, this curriculum is intended

for students who plan to go on to medical school

or graduate study in biomedical engineering.

Courses can be chosen from any engineering

discipline, including the Department of Biomedi-

cal Engineering.

lEngineering physics

This curriculum prepares students for work in

a physics research laboratory and for further

study in engineering or physics. It includes

courses in modern physics, electricity and mag-

netism, and solid-state physics. Students in this

option often simultaneously complete a second

major in physics.

lPackaging engineering

This curriculum prepares scientists and engi

neers for work in the eld of packagingthe

successful transport and delivery of a produc

from the manufacturer to the consumer.Courses focus on packaging machinery,

packaging evaluation, and package design

and development.

The applied sciences in engineering program

offered on Rutgers' New Brunswick Campus. St

dents at the Camden and Newark campuses ma

be able to transfer to the School of Engineering.

Students interested in tissue

engineering will be exposed to cell

culture systems, microscopy and

imaging, and the quantication of

cell growth simulation in a newly

developed instructional laboratory

designed specically for the eld.

Rutgers' program in biome

cal engineering has pionee

several breakthroughs in th

eld including heart-assist

devices for cardiac surgery

and the use of virtual reality

the rehabilitation of limbs.

Since its initiation in 1965, Rutgers' biomedical

engineering has remained abreast of the discipline's

breakthroughs and boasts endless opportunities in

biomedical engineering education and research. As

a leading public research university, Rutgers offers

biomedical engineering degree programs at the

bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. Students

can choose from ve concentrations:

lMolecular, cellular, and nanosystems bio-

engineering

l

Biomaterials and tissue engineeringlBiomechanics and rehabilitation engineering

lPhysiologic systems and bioinstrumentation

lComputational bioengineering and bio-

medical imaging

Our students study with faculty who are mem-

bers of several centers of excellence, such as

The Cancer Institute of New Jersey, the Center for

Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine, and the

W.M. Keck Center for Collaborative Neuroscience.

Off campus, students conduct clinical research a

Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

computer-aided diagnostics (CAD) systems t

can automatically detect suspicious regions i

medical images will reduce unnecessary biop

sies for thousands of cancer patients.

experience of hands-on discovery and achieve-

ment. Our students do more than simply participate

in research with their professors in the lab; they

analyze, design, and build projects that win them

acclaim both nationally and internationally.

Imagine yourself succeeding as our students

havework on a room res project, publish your

ndings in a prestigious journal, receive several

awards, and become a professor at the University

of Connecticut; present your work on thin lm man-

ufacture at a conference in Brazil; win a National

Science Foundation Fellowship to continue your

studies at Stanford.

In Rutgers mechanical engineering program,

you will:

lDesign mechanisms, machines, and structures

nGreek life at Rutgers dates all the way back to 1845. What does it

look like today? Like a gymnasium full of enthusiastic dancers,

boogying for 32 hours straight in order to raise hundreds of thousands

of dollars for the Embrace Kids foundation. Sometimes Greek life

sounds like a whisper, as members of Greek organizations study

together in the library to achieve academic excellence. Other times,

Greek life is really, really loud. For example, when they host
