BS Biocomputational Engineering

Biocomputational engineering brings together the field of bioengineering, a discipline grounded in fundamentals of physics, chemistry, and biology, with computation and data science, which enhances the value of all fields. The objective of the biocomputational engineering program is to provide a breadth of fundamentals in biology and quantitative problem solving while developing skills in computation and data science that can be applied to the modeling of complex biological systems and the analysis of complex biological data sets in order to create new knowledge from the molecular to organ to system levels, and to develop innovative processes for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. The synthesis of bioengineering, computation, and data science gives the graduates unique capabilities to solve existing and emerging challenges of the modern medical world.
