Bioengineering (BioE)
Overview
Bioengineering is an interdisciplinary field that operates at the nexus of living systems and human design, incorporating engineering principles with life science. Bioengineers create new materials, devices, and processes for medical applications and biotech industries. Their work is key to developing technologies for human health (including pharmaceuticals, drug delivery systems, diagnostic tools, implants, and imaging systems), biomaterials, and bioreactors.

Internship Timeframes
The following timeframes have been laid out by our participating universities for when an internship should be offered. These timeframes have been structured to allow students to participate in the program and not fall behind on their upper-division coursework schedule beyond the terms that internships overlap.
Oregon State University
- Junior Year: Spring-Summer Internship
- Senior Year: Summer-Fall Internship
- Spring-Summer Internship: Internship occurring during Spring and Summer school terms (March through September).
- Summer-Fall Internship: Internship occurring during Summer and Fall school terms (June through December).
Coursework Requirements
Each participating university discipline has a set of required courses that must be taken to stay on schedule for program participation. These requirements are optimized to provide the necessary skills to participate in MECOP's internships while minimizing the amount of time added to receiving a degree. If you are a student and want to discuss your current academic qualifications and to plan out your curriculum for participation, please see our directory of advisors.
