Revision, August 2013. Start of revision.
Bioengineering is a broad, emerging, and dynamic engineering discipline. At the application end, bioengineering involves the implementation of knowledge from various engineering disciplines in life sciences and medicine, such as: biomaterials and prostheses; tissue engineering and regenerative medicine; drug delivery systems and high throughput screening devices for drug discovery; imaging, monitoring and diagnostic devices, and biomedical micro devices and biosensors. At the conceptual end, bioengineering learns various lessons from nature and attempts to reverse-engineer naturally occurring biological solutions, devices and procedures, such as complexity in environmental systems; biomimetic materials and structures; energy efficient biomimetic propulsion systems; neuro morphic intelligent machines; molecular motors; biological communication and computation; and biologically-inspired robots.
The Department of Bioengineering in ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ's Faculty of Engineering was created in 2012 and is currently developing its undergraduate program. Please see our website for updates and contact information: www.mcgill.ca/bioengineering.
