Are you interested in engineering but unable to find what you are seeking in a professional engineering program? If so, then the applied sciences in engineering major was designed for you!
With the help of a faculty committee, you can pick and choose courses from other Rutgers engineering programs and build a curriculum that prepares you to fulfill your goals. The last two years of your program will be developed in close consultation with the dean to meet your special interests. Three possible areas of specialization: l Biomedical science and engineering Just like premedicine, this curriculum is intended for students who plan to go on to medical school or graduate study in biomedical engineering. Courses can be chosen from any engineering discipline, including the Department of Biomedical Engineering. l Engineering physics This curriculum prepares students for work in a physics research laboratory and for further study in engineering or physics. It includes courses in modern physics, electricity and magnetism, and solid-state physics. Students in this option often simultaneously complete a second major in physics. l Packaging engineering This curriculum prepares scientists and engineers for work in the field of packagingthe successful transport and delivery of a product from the manufacturer to the consumer. Courses focus on packaging machinery, packaging evaluation, and package design and development. The applied sciences in engineering program is offered on Rutgers' New Brunswick Campus. Students at the Camden and Newark campuses may be able to transfer to the School of Engineering.

Biomedical Engineering
Where Are Our Alumni?
n Boston
Rutgers' program in biomedical engineering has pioneered several breakthroughs in the field including heart-assist devices for cardiac surgery and the use of virtual reality in the rehabilitation of limbs.
n University
Biomedical engineers apply engineering principles to the medical field to improve individual health care. Whether you dream of creating artificial organs for patients who need transplants, improving medical imaging technologies to better diagnose breast cancer, or designing groundbreaking rehabilitation equipment for spinal cord injuries, a Rutgers education in biomedical engineering will make those dreams a reality.
Since its initiation in 1965, Rutgers' biomedical Off campus, students conduct clinical research at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. l Claim to Fame Professor Anant Madabhushi's development of computer-aided diagnostics (CAD) systems that can automatically detect suspicious regions in medical images will reduce unnecessary biopsies for thousands of cancer patients. Biomedical engineering is offered by the School of Engineering on the New Brunswick Campus. Students at the Camden and Newark campuses may be able to transfer to the School of Engineering.
In the classroom, Eric Wallenstein, a biomedical engineering student, is working on a thesis that investigates bioengineered human skin equivalents. Rutgers also prepared him for his off-campus activities, which included coauthoring a paper on anti-inflammatory drugs at Janssen, L.P. Students interested in tissue engineering will be exposed to cell culture systems, microscopy and imaging, and the quantification of cell growth simulation in a newly developed instructional laboratory designed specifically for the field.
engineering has remained abreast of the discipline's breakthroughs and boasts endless opportunities in biomedical engineering education and research. As a leading public research university, Rutgers offers biomedical engineering degree programs at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. Students can choose from five concentrations: l Molecular, cellular, and nanosystems bioengineering l Biomaterials and tissue engineering l Biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering l Physiologic systems and bioinstrumentation l Computational bioengineering and biomedical imaging Our students study with faculty who are members of several centers of excellence, such as The Cancer Institute of New Jersey, the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine, and the W.M. Keck Center for Collaborative Neuroscience.

At Rutgers, mechanical engineering is an experience of hands-on discovery and achievement. Our students do more than simply participate in research with their professors in the lab; they analyze, design, and build projects that win them acclaim both nationally and internationally. Imagine yourself succeeding as our students havework on a room fires project, publish your findings in a prestigious journal, receive several awards, and become a professor at the University of Connecticut; present your work on thin film manufacture at a conference in Brazil; win a National Science Foundation Fellowship to continue your studies at Stanford. In Rutgers mechanical engineering program, you will: l Design mechanisms, machines, and structures l Explore the composition of high-tech materials (ceramics, composites, biomaterials) l Invent high-tech equipment (spacecraft, robots, human implants) l Study rapid-prototyping and machining l Analyze heat, energy, and mechanical stress that occur within engineering devices such as internal combustion engines, electronic equipment, artificial organs, and nuclear reactors l Examine nanomaterials, biosystems, diagnostics, fire simulation, fuel cells, and ComputerAided Design in lab and computer facilities The mechanical engineering major is available at the School of Engineering on the New Brunswick campus. Students at the Camden and Newark campuses may be able to transfer to the School of Engineering.
Our distinguished professors have received the Max Jakob Award, the highest honor in heat transfer; the prestigious Otto Laporte Award in fluid mechanics; the ASME Gold Medal for young researchers;
the NSF Career Awards; the
Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers; and the Donald Q. Kern Award.

Fraternities and Sororities
n Greek life at Rutgers dates all the way back to 1845. What does it look like today? Like a gymnasium full of enthusiastic dancers, boogying for 32 hours straight in order to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Embrace Kids foundation. Sometimes Greek life sounds like a whisper, as members of Greek organizations study together in the library to achieve academic excellence. Other times, Greek life is really, really loud. For example, when they host community service and recreational events like the singing and dancing competitions during Derby Days, another major philanthropic event. Fraternities and sororities offer ample leadership opportunities and networks of esteemed alumni. They are a great way to make lifelong friendships and memories, to make the most out of your Rutgers experience.
