The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering: Cell and Tissue Engineering Track at the Illinois Institute of Technology is designed for aspiring engineers who are passionate about addressing complex biological challenges at the cellular and molecular level. You will gain a deep understanding of how to engineer replacement tissues and organs from individual cells, and how to interpret disease processes. This undergraduate degree provides a robust foundation in anatomy, biochemistry, and the mechanics of cellular structures, preparing you to innovate in the rapidly advancing field of regenerative medicine.
Studied full-time on campus over four years, this rigorous curriculum integrates foundational science with specialized biomedical engineering coursework, including subjects like cell and tissue engineering, biomechanics, and biomaterials. You will engage in hands-on learning through laboratory sessions and participate in the innovative Interprofessional Projects (IPRO) program, tackling real-world engineering problems. Upon graduation, you will be well-prepared for careers in biotechnology, pharmaceutical research, medical device development, and advanced graduate studies in biomedical engineering.
