Graduate students at Boston University enjoy the advantages of a sophisticated metropolitan area with world-renowned academic and scientific resources. Access to local concentrations of high-technology industry provides another vital element in an exciting academically oriented region.
Biomedical research areas include biomechanics, biomaterials, tissue engineering, biomedical optics, biomolecular engineering, biotechnology, genomic engineering, sensory systems engineering, cardio pulmonary engineering, neuroscience, bio mems, micro nano biotechnology, synthetic biology, and drug delivery.
Electrical and Computer Engineering research activities are broadly classified into three main areas: (i) Electro-Physics, (ii) Information Systems and Sciences, and (iii) Computer Engineering. Research expertise includes photonics, solid state materials and devices, nanotechnology, space physics, subsurface imaging, VLSI circuits, and signal, image, video, and multimedia processing, communications, computer architecture, advanced computer networks, wireless technology, and embedded systems sensor networks.
Materials Science and Engineering research areas include materials for clean energy conversion and processing, semiconductors, wide bandgap materials for solid-state lighting, tissue engineering, design of biomolecules and biopolymers, materials for MEMS and bioMEMS applications, among others.
Mechanical Engineering research is focused in acoustics and vibrations; dynamics, control, and robotics; fluid and solid mechanics; MEMS/NEMS; materials; energy; and manufacturing systems. Some areas of specialization include aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, automatic control systems, biomechanics, biomedical and industrial ultrasonics, laser ultrasonics, physical and underwater acoustics, structural mechanics, thermal processes, theoretical fluid dynamics, turbulence, bio-materials and processing, computer-aided design and manufacture, coatings, design and control of manufacturing systems and operations research, manufacturing of microelectronic components, materials for hydrogen storage and production, optical materials, and robotics and control of materials processing.
Systems Engineering research areas include robotics and control, intelligent machines and information based control, cooperative control, network systems including wireless and sensor networks, computational and systems biology, production and service systems, energy systems, and intelligent simulation, among others.
The College of Engineering houses or collaborates with numerous multidisciplinary research centers, including the Center for Advanced Biotechnology, Center for Advanced Genomic Technology, the Center for Bio Dynamics, the Biomolecular Engineering Research Center, the Center for Computational Sciences, the Fraunhofer Center for Manufacturing Innovation, the Hearing Research Center, Center for Information and Systems Engineering, Center for Memory and Brain, Center for Nanoscience and Nanobiotechnology, the Neuromuscular Research Center, the Photonics Center, the Center for Space Physics, and the Center for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems. The Fraunhofer Center maintains an advanced manufacturing facility on the BU campus, and the Photonics Center houses its own industrial incubator facility. Graduate students at Boston University can pursue research at nearby hospitals and federal facilities. A full range of financial aid is available, including Dean?s Fellowships, Research Assistantships, and Graduate Teaching Fellowships. Stipends range from $18,200 for the academic year to $27,300 for the calendar year, plus tuition scholarship.
The Late Entry Accelerated Progam (LEAP) prepares talented students with non-engineering undergraduate degrees to complete prerequisite Engineering undergraduate courses and move directly into any of the M.S. programs listed below. Each student?s curriculum is individually tailored by the Engineering faculty. Admission to LEAP requires that the applicant have at least one semester of college-level calculus with a grade of B or better, suitable general GRE scores, and a strong motivation for advanced study. Need-based scholarships of up to $27,595 per academic year are available, as well as loans and federal work-study. Students include working professionals who wish to make a career change as well as recent college graduates who are interested in broadening their skills before entering the high-tech job market.
