神经工程师站在活的神经组织和非生物构造物的界面的最前沿，创造出测量，修复或复制大脑功能的技术。使用工程技术，学生可以专注于理解和编码神经过程以在大脑和身体中分配信息。从分子，神经元群体到整个生物体行为的各种分析规模的大脑研究是神经工程学的重点。该领域的进步将为受损的神经系统创建新的物理替换零件，读取大脑功能的新设备以及完成人类专家现在执行的任务的智能机器。建立将神经系统耦合到物理系统的微型设备（例如用于检测即将发作的设备）可以导致新的认知发展以及存储系统的基础计算。神经工程是技术与大脑相遇的地方。
In our Master of Science in Intelligent Systems Engineering (ISE) program, you will get technical expertise in computational engineering and artificial intelligence—the future of engineering and problem solving. This two-year program teaches you to use modern approaches and design principles to develop systems or devices that gather, interpret, and use data. You can work in the microscopic sensors that make our devices, homes, and vehicles “smart.” Go into advanced health diagnostics and tissue engineering. Master the massive systems that analyze the flood of data around us and drive decision making. Neuroengineering studies, enhances, monitors, heals, and replicates the nervous system. Neuroengineers have the unique opportunity to link theories of the mind to applications that can build intelligent machines and software. Advances in this field will bring about repairs for damaged nervous systems, new devices to read brain function, and smart machines to accomplish tasks. Microscale devices that couple nervous systems with physical systems also can lead to new cognitive development as well as computations that form the basis of memory systems.
