Master of Applied Bioengineering Info Session

Dear CoE Advisors,

My name is Hannah Anderson and I currently advise for the Master of Applied Bioengineering (MAB) program. I will be hosting several information sessions that I’m hoping you can advertise to your students (flyer attached). Students can also register here: https://forms.gle/HEBriGGJ6otz1zd79

This 10-month program is a fantastic opportunity for:

  • Bachelor’s degree-level engineers who want to gain direct experience developing biomedical technologies that are responsive to clinical needs while strengthening their industry skills.
  • Students from non-engineering fields (biology, chemistry and physics) who wish to obtain training in biomedical engineering applications.

The Master of Applied Bioengineering is a three quarter (Early Fall – Spring of the following year) full time professional master’s degree program that trains students to apply engineering design to address today’s clinical challenges and fulfill the market-based demands of industry and medicine for biotechnology.  Students collaborate with world-class faculty from UW Bioengineering and UW Medicine to transform biomedical research into technologies for improving patient care. Graduates have in-demand skills for work in biomedical industries and translational research.

If you think any of your students might be interested in learning more about the program, they are welcome to email me at ande1220@uw.edu.
