Program Learning Outcomes for the MBE Degree

Program Learning Outcomes for the Applied Bioengineering Area of Specialization

Upon completing the MBE degree, students pursuing the Applied Bioengineering area of specialization requirements will be able to:

1. Apply and integrate advanced knowledge of Bioengineering topics in at least one of the following areas: Biomaterials and Drug Delivery, Biomedical Imaging and Diagnostics, Computational and Theoretical Bioengineering, Tissue Engineering and Biomechanics, or Systems and Synthetic Biology.
2. Apply knowledge from engineering and other disciplines to identify, formulate, and solve novel and complex problems that require advanced knowledge in bioengineering.
3. Select and apply quantitative analytic techniques to analyze bioengineering data.
4. Gain admission to a graduate or professional program, if students want to pursue further education.

Program Learning Outcomes for the Global Medical Innovation Area of Specialization

Upon completing the MBE degree, students pursuing the Global Medical Innovation area of specialization requirements will be able to:

1. Apply knowledge of Bioengineering topics in at least one of the following areas: Biomaterials and Drug Delivery, Biomedical Imaging and Diagnostics, Computational and Theoretical Bioengineering, Tissue Engineering and Biomechanics, or Systems and Synthetic Biology.
2. Develop effective medical products, from concept to commercialization, within a team environment.
3. Comprehend and navigate the global medical technology industry by leveraging an internship experience.
4. Gain employment or advance professionally in a technical field related to bioengineering.

The requirements for one area of specialization (see below for areas of specialization). The MBE degree program offers two areas of specialization:

• Applied Bioengineering: designed as a flexible degree for students who will pursue careers in research, medicine, or related fields, or
• Global Medical Innovation: designed specifically for students who will pursue a career in the global medical technology industry. As the medical technology industry becomes increasingly global with an emphasis in cost-effective health care solutions and clinical outcomes, Rice University seeks to prepare engineers for this new and changing environment. This area of specialization of the MBE degree is designed to prepare engineers for careers in medical technology through education in innovation, emerging-market design projects and internships. The Rice MBE area of specialization in Global Medical Innovation program specifically targets students who have an undergraduate degree in engineering (mechanical, electrical, chemical, or bioengineering/medical) or a related field, and who are interested in pursuing a career in the private, public, or non-profit sectors of medical technology.
