For Ashley Raba, a senior design project at the Watson School started with an unlikely task: read the newspaper.
In the old version of bioengineering, engineering techniques were applied to biological systems. At Watson, on the other hand, bioengineering means studying the complex systems of living beings and applying those lessons to engineering innovations.
For example, you might design a solar energy panel based on the design of a leaf. Or develop a computer program that models the spread of a forest fire. As the only ABET-accredited engineering program in the nation that focuses on complex systems, we’re creating a new future for the field.
We’re also creating a dynamic future for you. Whether you’re a graduate student or an undergraduate, you’ll hone your professional skills by working in diverse teams, developing business and marketing plans, and communicating your ideas. When you graduate, you’ll be ready to lead -- in any career you choose.
