Key Summary
About: The Caltech bioengineering programme trains students to engineer biological systems and to apply engineering principles to understand biological design. Coursework covers physical cell biology, systems biology, biomolecular engineering, biodevice design and synthetic biology. You’ll gain experimental and computational skills for work or further study. The Donna and Benjamin M. Rosen Bioengineering Center funds fellows and research projects across disciplines.
Career Outcomes: Graduates pursue roles in biotechnology, biomedicine, biological data analysis, synthetic biology, biodevice design, academic research, industry R&D, bioinformatics or biotech entrepreneurship. You may also pursue doctoral study or move into regulatory affairs, product development or translational medicine roles.
The bioengineering undergraduate program focuses on two key goals: 1) Engineering new biological systems and functions, and 2) Applying engineering principles to learn principles of biological design. Students explore engineering principles, biotechnology, and fundamentals from the biological sciences through coursework on physical cell biology, systems biology, biomolecular engineering, biodevice design, and synthetic biology. Students graduate with a strong experimental and computational foundation for careers or further study in bioengineering, biotechnology, biomedicine, biological data analysis, and the expanding universe of biology-related disciplines and industries. The Donna and Benjamin M. Rosen Bioengineering Center supports bioengi neering research through the funding of fellows and research projects across many disciplines.
