What is Bioengineering?

Bioengineering is a field of science that emerged in parallel with the development of science for the solution of complex biological problems and enables the application of advanced technology to biological systems. This field of science aims to solve problems related to complex biological systems by bringing engineering sciences to the same platform with biological issues with a multidisciplinary approach. The key words of this discipline are: biomaterials, biomechanics, bioreactors, biomedical instruments and procedures.


Engineering sciences have been searching for ways to replace natural materials with artificial ones since their inception. However, at this point, it is now possible to use engineering to solve complex biological problems permanently, especially with advancing techniques and large computerized databases. For example, the production of artificial materials that do not harm our bodies in any way and are compatible with natural materials. Bioengineering explores ways to coexist artificial media or materials in a way that mimics/copies natural materials. First of all, it identifies problems, gets help from different disciplines, develops and produces new medical devices/equipment, programs, technology design and production.

Bioengineering education and training plan aims to teach students the development of biotechnological products utilizing biological systems and their use in industry with the biology dimension and engineering concepts and methods with the engineering dimension.

Bioengineering graduates, through the courses and laboratory applications they take, are equipped to exhibit different perspectives on problems, as well as to understand terminologically possible different disciplines or to develop themselves on a specific/specialized subject. This is their biggest advantage.
