Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering - Bioengineering

The Woodruff School has a challenging graduate program that encompasses advanced study and research leading to the degree of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering for qualified graduates with backgrounds in engineering, mechanics, mathematics, physical sciences, and life sciences. Most graduate coursework is elective, but the program of study must meet the Woodruff School's requirements of breadth, depth, and level.

Bioengineering is the application of engineering principles to the study and control of biological processes and systems. The goal of bioengineering research is to develop, through an integration of engineering and the life sciences, a better understanding of basic mechanisms in biology and new concepts and technologies that may be applied to problems in medicine and biology.Major areas of research at GT include the engineering of novel advanced biomaterials and medical devices, nano/micro mechanical and fluidic systems for diagnostics, therapeutic delivery, stem cell engineering, systems biology and neuroscience, cell-based therapeutic constructs, influence of mechanics in development, homeostasis, and disease, and modeling of complex biological systems. Georgia Tech is a leader in the area of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine research which involves the use of living cells and biomaterials in the development of biological substitutes. The purpose of tissue engineering is to repair, maintain, or enhance function, and it includes applications such as artificial skin, bioartificial organs, blood vessels, and connective tissue.

At least 3.3 GPA for the Master's and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering programs
In general, international students pursuing a terminal M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering will not be admitted, with three exceptions:
Students who are applying to study at the Georgia Tech Lorraine campus.
Students who are Fulbright Fellowship awardees (or with fellowships from their home countries that pay tuition and fees along with a stipend for living expenses).
Students who graduated with the B.S.M.E. from Georgia Tech.
