• Accreditation of the bachelors of science degree in Bioengineering by ABET in 2013
• Development of on-line education through our launch of a Bioengineering 101 distance learning program.
• Creation of a “Bioengineering Health Informatics” concentration for our students to meet the rapidly expanding employment demands for this area.
• 190 students enrolled in our undergraduate Bioengineering maj

or.
• Outstanding students: 35% of new Bioengineering freshman are honors students with 3 of the 20 new University Scholars declaring Bioengineering as their major.
• Bioengineering PhD program plan approved by the Mason Board of Visitors
• New hire: Dr. Laurence Bray, Research Assistant Professor, with expertise in neuromorphic engineering and computational neuroscience joined the department. We will be recruiting to fill a new tenured or tenure-track faculty position this Spring.
• New grant funding from the NSF, NIH, and the DoD.
• Establishment of a clinical internship program for our students developed in collaboration with Inova Hospital Dept of Neuroscience.
• The vast majority of undergraduate students are pursuing and earning opportunities for funded research through external summer internships and the Mason Students as Scholars program. This past summer, our students held internships at the NIH, NRL, and CNMC.
• Scholarship development well under way. We are working to establish the Departments first named scholarship in honor of Professor Peter Katona. Once endowed, the scholarship will support an outstanding undergraduate student in Bioengineering.

Internship Abroad Summer 25 - Bioengineering Senior Brandon Tran in Berlin:

"Last summer I had the opportunity to go to Berlin, Germany, through the Global Education Office (GEO) at George Mason University. I was partnered with a startup company there to do an internship for two months. All I can say was that the experience was absolutely amazing. In my internship, I designed and created a prototype sensor system which helped me gain some experience in engineering design as well as electronics. Going to a completely different country without knowing anybody, brought me out of my shell, and I came to know some amazing people there! For anyone thinking about studying abroad, I encourage you to go for it! There are so many scholarships and grants for students to study abroad which made it so affordable for me to go. But in the end, the money was no comparison to the invaluable experiences that I had in Berlin and I would not trade that for anything."
