Overview

Objectives

The focus on living organisms creates a stark contrast between the Biological Engineering major and many of Wentworth Institute of Technology's other engineering disciplines, which center on non-living materials and processes.

Biological engineering is rooted in the life sciences and when this converges with the physical sciences that are of importance to engineering, we can create revolutionary new technologies.

Potential areas of focus include healthcare, medicine, pharmaceuticals, the environment, clean water, wastewater, energy, materials and more. Creating innovative new solutions to meet the challenges in these areas will define the 21st century.

A Practical, Modern Curriculum

Through extensive lab work and two semesters of co-ops, our Biological Engineering students are immersed in the convergence of physical sciences, life sciences and engineering, giving them the hands-on experience necessary to confront real-world, biological-based problems.

Co-op Experience with Top Employers

Through Wentworth’s strong network of employers, including many alumni, Biological Engineering students obtain professional experience during their two required cooperative work semesters. Partners hiring our co-op students include AtlantiCare, Boston Bioskills Lab, Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Moderna Therapeutics. Synlogic Therapeutics and WAVE Life Sciences.
