Introducing the Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering
It is with great pleasure that we announce the approval by NYSED (New York State Education Department) of our new Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering effective September 1, 2022 in the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences at New York Tech.
This is a significant and complementary addition to the portfolio of our undergraduate program offerings.
Our bachelor's program helps its students learn tools and techniques such as electrical/electronic circuits, microprocessors/embedded systems, and process control systems to become leaders, innovators, and inventors throughout their bioengineering careers. Students will learn to apply engineering techniques to the analysis of biological systems and to fully integrate biology and engineering to design algorithms, and devices to improve lives.
