Bioengineering receives Degree granting authority
The Stanford Faculty Senate has approved degree granting authority for the Department of Bioengineering, a joint program between the schools of Engineering and Medicine.
On Dec. 4 the university senate passed the following resolution:
The Committee on Graduate Studies recommends that the Senate authorize the Department of Bioengineering to admit candidates for the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees, with enrollment beginning in the Autumn Quarter of 2004-2005, and to nominate candidates for the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Bioengineering, without limit of time.
Philip Pizzo, Carl and Elizabeth Naumann Dean of the School of Medicine complimented the new department's co-chairs - Paul Yock, professor of medicine (cardiovascular medicine) and Scott L. Delp, associate professor of mechanical engineering-biomechanical engineering. Pizzo said the two co-chairs have made significant progress in delineating the educational, research and administrative foundations of the department. "The approval of degree granting authority by the Senate is testimony to the important leadership they have provided," Pizzo said."
The dean said the next few years will include the recruitment of faculty, the enrollment of graduate students in 2004, enrollment of undergraduate students later (probably 2006), as well as new research facilities to become part of the Science, Engineering, Medicine Campus (SEMC) development now under way.
