• Students gain a thorough understanding of the full breadth of bioengineering by earning a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering in the College of Engineering at Temple University.
  • The 128-credit bachelor’s program emphasizes scientific theories and engineering principles used to close the gap between engineering and medicine.
  • Students gain an understanding of the breadth of bioengineering through incorporating the study of human physiology, diseases, and injuries in order to invent engineering solutions.
  • Bioengineering is a vast field in which biomedical engineering is a significant subset. Bioengineering covers an array of solutions to medical and nonmedical biological problems.
  • Biomedical engineering applies engineering methods to design solutions solely for human medical problems, including:
    • designing surgical mesh, synthetic skin, and other biomaterials;
    • engineering high-tech prosthetics or medical devices;
    • inventing improved diagnostic methods or instruments;
    • repairing damaged tissues by engineering new tissue; and more.
