Bioengineering据说是一个大杂烩,有很多新的玩意不知道算在什么分类都可以往Bioengineering里面塞。按照Stanford Bioengineering的话说是“The mission of the Bioengineering department is to create a fusion of engineering and the life sciences that promotes scientific discovery and the invention of new technologies and therapies through research and education”。比如Quake就有做microfluidics,chip之类的。国内的那种“生物工程”也许算是一种中国特色吧?
