ABET Program Criteria for the Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering Degree

1. Curriculum: The curriculum must include mathematics through differential equations, a thorough grounding in chemistry and biology, and a working knowledge of advanced biological sciences consistent with the program's educational objectives. The curriculum must prepare graduates to apply engineering to biological systems.
2. Faculty: The program shall demonstrate that those faculty members teaching courses primarily designed in the content are qualified to teach the subject matter by virtue of education and experience or professional licensure.

Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering Program Student Outcomes

The Department of Bioengineering has combined Student Outcomes as listed in ABET Criteria 3 with ABET Program Criteria for Bioengineering to form a modified list of Student Outcomes listed below.

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
