Bioengineering, as an interdisciplinary branch of science, is in constant contact with basic sciences such as physics, chemistry, molecular biology/genetics and mathematics, as well as various engineering fields such as chemical engineering, computer engineering and food engineering. In this way, it offers solutions to biological problems from an engineering perspective and makes a significant contribution to the socio-economic development of humanity in line with the scientific and technological developments in recent years.
The bioengineering department uses approaches such as modern molecular genetic methods, engineering applications, biological problem simulations and data analysis to solve current problems. Thus, it examines biological systems from a multidisciplinary perspective in many fields, from the health sector to chemistry, from the environment to the food industry. In addition to the analysis of biological systems, new methods, materials and devices are being designed thanks to rapid advances in the field of bioengineering. These technologies are actively used in the efficient and large-scale production of a wide range of industrial products. Examples of industrial applications of bioengineering include biosensors, nanomaterials, biofuels, biological drugs, bioplastics and enzyme production using biotechnological methods. In addition, important applications in the healthcare sector such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, neuroscience, biomechanics and biomaterials are also included in this field.
Individuals who successfully complete their master's degree in the Department of Bioengineering will have the necessary theoretical knowledge to develop new methods and will be able to effectively apply this knowledge to complex Bioengineering problems. They will also gain awareness of the effects of engineering practices on the environment and health at universal and social dimensions. In addition to all these, they will provide socio-economic added value by contributing to our country's technological accumulation in this field, as individuals who can think innovatively, are enterprising, have the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams, can offer fast and easy solutions to problems, and are also aware of professional and ethical responsibility.
