What's the difference between Biological Engineering and Biomedical Engineering?

Biological Engineering

Create biological processes and products with a biochemical engineering core background.

Core Classes

  • Fundamentals of Biotechnology
  • Bioseparations
  • Biomaterials
  • Biokinetics
  • Biochemistry
Biomedical Engineering

Innovate the health care industry with an electromechanical engineering core background.

Core Classes

  • Anatomy and Physiology for Engineers
  • Bioinstrumentation
  • Biotransport
  • Tissue Biomechanics

Both are excellent pathways for medical and graduate school.
