a pioneer in interdisciplinary ed ucationWhyPennEngineering?With the pace of innovation and technological advancementaccelerating ever faster, engineers hold the keys to the nextgeneration’s routine wonders.Today’s undergraduates grew up with the Internet. To them, searchengines, social media, nanotechnology and genetic engineeringare all familiar — even everyday. The University of Pennsylvania’sSchool of Engineering and Applied Science is uniquely positionedto propel those future intellectual leaders, entrepreneurs, thinkersand innovators to success.As an Ivy League institution — and the first university in the nation— Penn ensures its engineering and applied science students atransformative experience in the classroom and laboratory and afully rounded liberal arts education.Penn Engineering is a pioneer in interdisciplinary education, allowingstudents the flexibility to craft a program that suits their individualinterests, career or graduate education plans. Both Bachelor ofScience in Engineering (BSE) and Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS)degrees are offered, along with specialized dual-degree programs,an array of majors and minors, special programs and study-abroadopportunities.Penn Engineering students get valuable and extensive hands-onexperience, conducting research and pursuing creative designs andnew products alongside faculty renowned in their fields. The workingrelationship with faculty pervades Penn Engineering, where full-timefaculty teach all core undergraduate courses and each studenthas a faculty advisor.As the global marketplace for technology grows, graduates go onto leadership roles in business, medicine, law and academia, armedwith the technical knowledge, imagination, communication skillsand understanding of the social and human context of their work,all engendered with a fervor for the future, at Penn Engineering.
Benjamin Franklin, America’s first scientist and engineer, foundedthe University and his spirit of scientific inquiry still drives thepassion for research at Penn Engineering.Undergraduates work alongside faculty renowned in their fieldsat cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research centers and institutes thatspan all Penn Engineering departments and foster collaborationswith faculty, students and postdocs in the Schools of Medicine, Artsand Sciences and Wharton Business School, just to name a few. Penn’sresearch centers and institutes in fields including biotechnology,robotics, computer animation and nanotechnology are at theforefront of research on each scientific and technological frontier.To enhance students’research experience,Penn offers a wide rangeof support services, suchas the University’s Centerfor Undergraduate Researchand Fellowships and the PennUndergraduate ResearchMentoring Program. Studentsmay also participate inresearch projects such asSUNFEST, the SummerUndergraduate Fellowshipin Sensor Technologies,and Penn Electric Racing,among others.The Rachleff ScholarsProgram offers PennEngineering undergraduatesthe opportunity to focuson research with standingfaculty and to participate ina community of peers whoshare a common interest inresearch and scholarly inquiry.Rachleff Scholars participatein a 10-week, paid SummerResearch Experience, completehonors coursework andgain real-world skills andknowledge through interaction with industrial, corporateand community partners.Capping the PennEngineering experienceis the yearlong SeniorDesign project in whichstudents design anew approach to areal-world problem.RESEARCH
MAJORSPrepares you to applyquantitative analysistechniques to understandcomplex biological systems,to design innovativebiomedical products anddevelop new drugsBIOENGINEERINGChemical and Biomolecular EngineeringThe Department of Bioengineering (BE) at Penn, renowned as a pioneerin the field, provides a solid foundation in science and engineering, exposureto a wide variety of bioengineering areas and extensive research opportunities.Penn’s Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE) program, foundedin 1893, has a proud history at the forefront of undergraduate education.Penn added the word “biomolecular” to the program’s name in 2002 toreflect the essential role that disciplines such as molecular biology, cellularmechanobiology and genetic engineering now play in the field.At the confluence of medicine and engineering, bioengineers — also knownas biomedical engineers — use principles from electrical, mechanical,chemical and materials engineering to advance knowledge and innovation inhealthcare and the biological sciences. The growing field of bioengineeringranges from its traditional applications in technical design, basic and appliedresearch, health professions and industry, particularly the medical deviceindustry, to business, investing, intellectual property law and government,including the regulation of patents and medical devices.Prepares you to analyzecomplex biological andchemical processes,understand the interactionsbetween biomolecules andchemicals and developnew processesPenn’s CBE program combines engineering principles with concepts fromchemistry, physics and biology. The program’s flexible curriculum includestheory, problem-solving techniques and experimental work. Small classesencourage professor-student interactions and the senior process designcourse utilizes the expertise of industrial colleagues from local chemicaland pharmaceutical companies.The Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) degree in Bioengineering, thefully accredited flagship professional engineering degree, provides rigorouspreparation for professional practice in a great variety of engineering andtechnical fields. The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree in BiomedicalSciences presents an option for a more flexible curriculum in bioengineeringfor those with broader interests. Pre-medical students may choose eitherthe BSE or BAS degree program. Both are identical for the first two years,and students may easily change from one to the other as their career plansbecome clearer.The CBE program’s interdisciplinary approach prepares students forleadership roles in industry, academia and the public sector in a varietyof technical areas including energy storage and conversion, chemical,petro-chemical and materials processing, biotechnology, pharmaceuticalmanufacturing and environmental remediation.Bio engineer ing (BE ) BSE S a mpl e C u r r i c u lu mC h e m i ca l a n d B i o m o l e cu la r E n gi n e e ri n g ( C B E ) S a m p le C u rri cu lu mFall S pr i ngFa l l S p ri n gYEAR ONEYEAR ONECalculus ICalculus IICalculus ICalculus IIGeneral Chemistry I & LabGeneral Chemistry II & LabPrinciples of Physics IPrinciples of Physics IIPrinciples of Physics IPrinciples of Physics IIGeneral Chemistry I & LabGeneral Chemistry II & LabIntroduction to Bioengineering IIntroduction to Bioengineering IIWriting seminarIntroduction to Chemical EngineeringSocial Sciences electiveWriting seminarIntroduction to Biotechnologyor Technical electiveFree electiveCalculus IIICalculus IVBiomechanicsBiomaterialsYEAR t w oStatisticsIntroduction to ComputingMolecular Biology & LabGenetics, Cell Biology or PhysiologySocial Sciences electiveHumanities electiveYEAR twoYEAR thr eeMaterial and Energy BalancesThermodynamics of FluidsCalculus IIICalculus IVOrganic Chemistry IOrganic Chemistry IISSH elective(Social Sciences & Humanities)Engineering Computer electiveSSH electiveFree electiveEngineering PhysiologyCell EngineeringPhysical ChemistryBioengineering Lab IISystems and SignalsBiotransportBioengineering Lab ITechnical electiveFree electiveHumanities electiveYEAR fo urYEAR t h re eFluid MechanicsHeat and Mass TransportAdvanced Chemical Engineering ScienceSeparation ProcessesPhysical Chemistry ICBE electiveOrganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistryor Biotech and Genetic ChemistrySSH electiveSSH electiveFree electiveSenior DesignSenior DesignBioengineering 4xx/5xxBioengineering 4xx/5xxEngineering electiveTechnical electiveYEAR f o u rSSH/TBS elective (Social Sciences& Humanities/ Technology,Business and Society)SSH/TBS electiveIntroduction to Process DesignProcess System Design ProjectsChemical Engineering LabChemical Process ControlChemical Reactor DesignCBE electiveSSH electiveTechnical electiveTechnical electiveSSH electiveFree electiveFree ate/degrees/maj-chembio.php
