Bioengineering as found in mechanical and aerospace engineering has research and teaching programs that focus primarily on mechanobiology and cell mechanics, musculoskeletal and orthopedic biomechanics, cardiovascular biomechanics, biomaterials, simulation and computation of biological processes, and medical imaging. There are collaborative efforts with the Departments of Biomaterials, Orthopaedic Surgery, and Emergency Medicine.
