生物工程哲学博士

生物工程系提供博士学位课程，在某些情况下还提供SM学位。生物工程学系的研究生可以作为麻省理工学院多个研究人员，多学科研究中心的一部分进行研究，包括生物医学工程中心，环境健康科学中心，比较医学系以及合成生物学工程研究中心。这些机会包括与工程与科学学院，科赫综合癌症研究所，怀特海生物医学研究所，博德研究所以及哈佛大学医学院，哈佛大学牙科医学院的教师合作，哈佛大学公共卫生学院和波士顿大学医学院。生物工程研究生课程教育学生在生物系统的分析和操纵中使用工程原理，从而使他们能够解决一系列重要应用中的问题。该课程本质上
The Department of Biological Engineering offers a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Doctor of Science (ScD) in Biological Engineering, the program is the same for both degrees. The Biological Engineering doctoral program educates students to use engineering principles in the analysis and manipulation of biological systems, allowing them to solve problems across a spectrum of important applications. The curriculum is inherently interdisciplinary in that it brings together engineering and biology as fundamentally as possible and cuts across the boundaries of the traditional engineering disciplines.<br><br>The written part of the doctoral qualifying examinationsfocused on the core curriculumis taken after the second term. The student selects a research advisor, typically by the start of the spring term in the first year, and begins research before the end of that year. The oral part of the doctoral qualifying examinations, which focuses on the student's area of research, is taken prior to December 1 of the third year. A total of approximately five years in residence is needed to complete the doctoral thesis and other degree requirements. Upon successful completion of the program, students are awarded either the PhD or ScD in biological engineering.
