Innovations in Bioengineering at Penn State

 

 

Mission

 

The mission of Penn State's undergraduate and graduate programs in Bioengineering is to educate students in the deep and broad integration of engineering and biology to enable them to become world-class engineers who contribute to social and economic development through innovative solutions of problems in medicine and the life sciences.  The foundations of this educational mission are the uniquely trained faculty and specialized facilities by which Bioengineering leads cutting-edge research in fundamental biology, medical device design, and disease diagnosis with their ultimate translation from academia to society.  It is the long term goal of Bioengineering to serve as the nucleus of engineering activities in the life sciences at Penn State and use its leadership to broaden the impact of bioengineering activities locally, nationally, and internationally by collaborations with other disciplines, clinicians, industrial developers, and policy makers.
