生物工程专业的学生将为您在活体系统和非活体系统融合在一起的独特交汇点做准备。自然界是一个令人惊奇的，高度复杂的地方，生物工程专业可以帮助您理解。也许同样令人惊奇的是，人类已经发现并且正在不断发展的方法的范围，使我们的生活质量更加美好。在UIC以本科生的身份学习生物工程学将有助于您将定量分析和设计应用于生命系统和混合系统（其中包含一些生命组件）。作为生物工程专业，许多途径对您开放。也许您想成为一名生物工程师，为组织或骨骼设计智能替代品，为非侵入性医学成像或诊断开发新工具，或将分子塑造为革命性的新药物疗法。也
A bioengineering major prepares you to work in the unique intersection where living systems and nonliving systems come together. The natural world is an amazing, highly complex place that the bioengineering major will help you to understand. Perhaps equally amazing is the universe of approaches that human beings have identified?and are continuing to develop?to make our quality of life even better. Studying bioengineering as an undergraduate at UIC will help you apply quantitative analysis and design to living systems and hybrid systems (which contain some living components). Many paths become open to you as a bioengineering major. Perhaps you want to become a bioengineer, designing smart replacements for tissue or bone, developing new tools for non-invasive medical imaging or diagnostics, or shaping molecules into revolutionary new drug therapies. Maybe you want to move on to medical school, dental school, graduate work in pharmacy, or law school with a focus on patent law.
