Licencjat z Bioinżynierii

Bioengineering integrates engineering and life sciences to address issues important to human and animal well-being and to society at large. The educational objective of WSU's BS Bioengineering degree is to prepare graduates for productive employment, advanced study, or professional programs where they apply principles and methods of both engineering and life sciences to solve problems affecting human and animal health and well-being. Graduates may apply their expertise in human and animal medicine, biotechnology, or related biology-based engineering fields.

Strengths of the program

• Gain an edge from caring, knowledgeable faculty who are geared toward student success and are available to advise students.
• Pursue opportunities to participate in faculty-led, hands-on research projects.
• Students benefit from WSU’s strong ties to veterinary medicine on the Pullman campus and human medicine in Spokane.
• You can join a math, science, and engineering community residence hall at WSU Pullman—share classes with your neighbors, study together, get free tutoring, and use the hall’s computer lab.

The bioengineering teaching laboratory, which is also located in Wegner Hall, includes state-of-the-art equipment and computers to enable students to test ideas, prove concepts, and interactively learn.

Mission

To advance knowledge through creative research and scholarship across a wide range of academic disciplines.

To extend knowledge through innovative educational programs in which emerging scholars are mentored to realize their highest potential and assume roles of leadership, responsibility, and service to society.

To apply knowledge through local and global engagement that will improve quality of life and enhance the economy of the state, nation, and world.

Academic Excellence

Globally recognized programs and faculty

WSU's programs are ranked among the best nationally and internationally in the fields of engineering, computer science, hospitality, business, and many more. WSU students learn from faculty and researchers who are leaders in their fields. Eight WSU faculty are recognized as National Academy members - one of the highest honors given to faculty at U.S. higher education institutions.

Learn by doing

WSU places a strong emphasis on learning by doing and encourages students to apply their knowledge in the real world. Students can launch their own businesses through the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies; learn to use tools such as 3D printers and plasma cutters in the Frank Innovation Zone; or create their own television shows at WSU's Cable 8 Productions. Students in every major have opportunities to gain practical experience that can eventually lead to Optional Practical Training (OPT) employment at competitive, U.S.-based international companies.

Honors College

The Honors College prepares top students in all majors for influential careers. The curriculum lets students choose among dozens of specialized classes in place of required general education courses. Class sizes are typically capped at 25 students. A thesis project allows students to conduct mentored research, exploring an academic question of importance to them. The College attracts top students from across the United States and around the world. Honors alumni have distinguished records of leadership.

Accelerated tracks to advanced degrees
