BiZ

The University of North Dakota's College of Engineering and Mines is a leader in the field of biomedical engineering, thanks in large part to its Bioinnovation Zone.

About the Bioinnovation Zone (BiZ)

This zone is dedicated to fostering innovation and industry interaction in the field, and serves as a hub for cutting-edge research and development. By bringing together students, faculty, and industry partners, the zone is able to support a wide range of projects that have the potential to make a significant impact in the field of biomedical engineering.

Graduate Biomedical Engineering Program

The Bioinnovation Zone is closely tied to the college's biomedical engineering program, which serves as the academic unit for the zone. The program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of biomedical engineering, including the use of engineering techniques to solve problems in biology and medicine. Students in the program can participate in research projects and interact with industry professionals, which helps to prepare them for successful careers in the field.

One of the key components of the biomedical engineering program is the emphasis on hands-on learning and real-world experience.

  • Students have access to state-of-the-art equipment and technology, including 3D printing, imaging, and simulation tools, which allows them to conduct cutting-edge research and develop new technologies that can be used to improve healthcare and medicine.
  • Additionally, students are encouraged to participate in internships and co-op experiences, which give them the opportunity to work on projects with industry partners and gain valuable experience in a professional setting.

Biomedical Engineering Research Complex

The Bioinnovation Zone also works closely with the Biomedical Engineering Research Complex (BERC), a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to bioengineering collaboration. The BERC provides researchers with access to cutting-edge equipment and technology, including 3D printing, imaging, and simulation tools. This allows researchers to conduct cutting-edge research and develop new technologies that can be used to improve healthcare and medicine.

The BERC provides a collaborative environment for researchers, students, and industry partners to work together to find solutions to complex biomedical engineering challenges. The complex also serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas and the sharing of knowledge and expertise. It also features an open laboratory space where researchers can conduct experiments, and host workshops, symposiums, and conferences to share their research with the broader scientific community.

Real Research. Real Impact.

In conclusion, the Bioinnovation Zone, the biomedical engineering program, and the BERC are all key components of the University of North Dakota's efforts to foster innovation and collaboration in the field of biomedical engineering. These resources provide students, faculty, and industry partners with the tools and support they need to conduct cutting-edge research and develop new technologies that can make a real impact in the field. The College of Engineering and Mines at UND continues to be a leading institution in biomedical engineering education, research, and innovation.
