What is unique about studying bioengineering in the Watson School?
Students admitted as engineering freshmen in the Watson School join the Engineering Design Division (EDD) which coordinates our unique first-year curriculum. The division provides students with an introduction to all branches of engineering and ensures that they develop the technical and communication skills essential to be successful engineers. The primary focus of the bioengineering program at Binghamton University is complex systems. While knowledge of complex system behavior is essential for understanding living systems and particularly relevant for those considering careers in biology, medicine or biotechnology, an understanding of complex systems is also useful for thinking about events in the world of nonliving natural systems like avalanches, earthquakes, flooding and weather. Our approach to complex systems can also be employed in understanding and influencing the behavior of human systems and organizations like financial networks, communication networks, communities and polit
