Master of Engineering
The Professional Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) and Graduate Certificate in Bioengineering, administered by the Maryland Applied Graduate Engineering office, are world-class, flexible educational programs designed to advance technical knowledge and career opportunities for working professionals and returning students who want to retool their careers. The requirements are entirely course-based, and courses are available on-campus and online for full-time or part-time study. To learn more about these programs, please visit Maryland Applied Graduate Engineering (MAGE).
Students are admitted to the M.Eng. (PMBI) or Certificate (GCEN) programs by the MAGE Director. Admission requirements and application instructions are posted on the MAGE website.
Advising and Registration
Student services, including orientation, enrollment, and graduation, are provided by MAGE staff to all M.Eng. and Certificate students. Academic advising for students pursuing the Bioengineering option is provided by the Program Director, Dr. Angela Jones. Advising is also provided by David Fludd.
The 30-credit curriculum for the M.Eng. includes 10 three-credit courses. No research or thesis is required for the degree. Students are required to complete the following four core courses:
BIOE658M Applied Mathematics in Bioengineering
BIOE658R Regulatory Affairs in Medical Product Development
BIOE658E Biomedical Device Developments
BIOE658P Physiology for Bioengineers
Students are additionally required to complete six elective courses that are pre-approved. Recent electives offered are shown in the list below. We typically offer two of the M.Eng. core courses and two dedicated M.Eng. electives each semester. Permission will be based on a degree plan and on the engineering and biology content of the proposed courses.
BIOE658F Applications of Bioinformatics
BIOE658L Applications in Biopharmaceutical Engineering
BIOE658W Biosensor Techniques, Instrumentation, and Applications
BIOE658A Additive Manufacturing for Bioengineering Applications
BIOE658G Genome Editing and Synthetic Biology
BIOE658Y Applications of Tissue Engineering
BIOE658D Application of Biomaterials
Registration permissions must be obtained each semester for all courses that you wish to include in your M.Eng. degree.
