What is the difference between “Biomedical Engineering” and “Bioengineering”?
There is no difference. In the past, some programs used the term “Biomedical Engineering” to emphasize applications in medicine and health care, whereas other programs used the term “Bioengineering” to emphasize non-medical applications, such as artificial intelligence or agricultural engineering. We decided to use the term “Bioengineering” because we did not want prospective students to think that their only option after graduation was a career in medicine.
