The Doctor of Philosophy with a Major in Building Construction focuses on quantitative methods in construction research, advanced readings in building construction, and research methodology.

Bringing together students from mechanical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, human factors, systems analysis, and manufacturing backgrounds to learn and work in multidisciplinary teams on clinically relevant needs for new medical techniques and products.

Focus: integrating life sciences, engineering, and mathematics with the goal of enabling students to postulate and solve biomedical problems quantitatively and with a systems perspective.

The Biomedical Engineering master's degree allows students to pursue advanced studies in the following areas:

Focus: integrating the life sciences and engineering and applying the results of that integration to the field of medicine.

The goal of the minor program is to educate students in how to apply engineering fundamentals to solve problems in biology and medicine. The program should be of particular interest to those students who plan to pursue advanced degrees in biomedical engineering and/or medicine.

Focus: advancing knowledge and research in areas such as ecology, evolution, and behavior; molecular and cell biology; and computational biology and bioinformatics.

Focus: advancing study and research in ecology, evolution, and behavior; molecular and cell biology; and computational biology and bioinformatics.
