Students learn the essentials of life science, engineering theory, and the analytical and practical tools that enable them to be successful in the biotechnology and bioengineering industries. The programme from University of Texas Arlington includes coursework in the basic sciences, core engineering, bioengineering, and advanced biotechnology disciplines. Both didactic classroom lectures and hands-on laboratory experience are emphasized.
During the first year of their studies, students in the master's program must select a concentration track including:
- Bioinstrumentation
- Biomaterials/Tissue Engineering
- Biomechanics
- Medical Imaging
- Nanomedicine
- Nanotechnology.
The Biomedical Engineering Program is jointly offered by The University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas (UT Southwestern).
The goal of the program is to prepare students for bioengineering careers requiring skills in research, development, and teaching in a variety of settings in industry, in hospitals, in research facilities of educational and medical institutions and in government regulatory agencies. Internships are aimed to further prepare students for careers in the bioengineering industry.
