Microfluidic platform for therapeutic NSF A.Z. Higgins (OSU), J. McGuire removal of blood constituents (OSU), K.F. Schilke (OSU), K. Sharp (OSU), J.E. Turner (OSU) Appendix A: Executive Summary Executive Summary: Bioengineering Graduate Program Bioengineering is an interdisciplinary field that applies engineering principles and quantitative methods to the advancement of knowledge at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and system levels, and to the development of new biologicals, materials, devices, and processes. While OSU offers a BS degree in Bioengineering and has significant bioengineering research activity, graduate level training in bioengineering is not currently available. We propose the creation of a new interdisciplinary graduate program in Bioengineering. Degrees to be offered include Masters of Science, Masters of Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy. The program will be administered within the College of Engineering, but participating faculty outside of the College will be able to serve as mentors/advisors for graduate students. The main objective is to provide students with graduate training in bioengineering, including broad exposure to the discipline through coursework, seminars, as well as a focused research experience. The program will provide students with resources and faculty expertise to conduct advanced studies in the core areas of biomaterials, biomedical devices and instrumentation, human performance engineering, medical imaging, and systems and computational biology.
