With emphasis on process engineering, computer modeling and quantitative biology, the BME+CBE program provides solid chemical/biological/biomedical engineering skills to work with technologies that use biology and chemistry to identify and improve health.
The BME+CBE pathway will enable you to develop or improve therapies for fighting cancer, tuberculosis, or other illnesses and diseases (e.g., nanoscaffolding for localized chemotherapy delivery, telemetric sensors to determine healing rates in bone fractures or to detect key chemicals in live tissue with high temporal and spatial resolution).
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of biomedical engineers is projected to grow 6% from 2020 to 2030, about as fast as the average of all occupations. However, employment of chemical engineers is projected to grow 9% from 2020 to 2030.
Our Bachelor of Science degree in biomedical engineering combined with a chemical and biological engineering degree, typically draws students interested in using biology and chemistry in engineering to improve human and/or animal health. The BME+CBE pathway at CSU provides students with two bachelor’s degrees within 5 years.
