The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Bioengineering is a professional, course-intensive degree designed to prepare students for leadership roles in the medical and biological engineering industries. This program focuses on engineering design, development, manufacturing, and management within an industrial or professional context. It is structured for completion in one academic year of full-time study and does not require a thesis. The M.Eng. is considered a terminal professional degree, and students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. should consider the M.S. program instead. For specific admission requirements, coursework details, and any other inquiries, please contact the UCSD Bioengineering Student Affairs Office.
Curriculum
The M.Eng. program is course-intensive and culminates in a Graduate Industrial Training Project. This project is crucial for professional development, preparing students for leadership in the medical and biological engineering sectors. Students are responsible for securing their training position, defining a graduate-level project, and completing a technical report satisfactory to both industry and faculty advisors. While the department does not provide a list of projects, they can offer assistance once a student has identified an area of interest. Upon project definition and academic approval, students enroll in BENG 295, 'Bioengineering Design Project and Industrial Training.' A final paper demonstrating mastery of program principles and a presentation to faculty and industry advisors are required.
