Clemson University Bioengineering Revenue and Competitors

In 1969, Clemson hosted the first Annual International Biomaterials Symposium) that led to the founding of the Society For Biomaterials (SFB) in 1974. Now the worldￃﾢ￢ﾂﾬ￢ﾄﾢs premier professional society in promotion of advances in all phases of materials research and development, the SFB encourages cooperative educational programs, clinical applications and professional standards in the biomaterials field. Pioneering biomaterials work conducted by Clemson faculty has led to the discovery of medical devices that have revolutionized health care. Through the years, Clemson has sustained its international reputation as the landmark for the field of biomaterials. The departmentￃﾢ￢ﾂﾬ￢ﾄﾢs mission is to educate and prepare students for professional careers in bioengineering for global competitiveness and to develop and disseminate bioengineering knowledge through research and engagement in economic development to advance health innovation and biotechnology in alignment with Clemsonￃﾢ￢ﾂﾬ￢ﾄﾢs land-grant mission. Our vision is to be a globally renowned department of bioengineering. Clemson Bioengineering contributes to Clemson Universityￃﾢ￢ﾂﾬ￢ﾄﾢs overall mission and its Clemson Forward strategic initiatives by working toward meeting five specific strategic goals: Strengthen our reputation as a global leader in undergraduate bioengineering education. Support Clemsonￃﾢ￢ﾂﾬ￢ﾄﾢs goal of maintaining R1 level as a research institution. Provide a supportive environment conducive to graduate student success. Support economic development through translational research and technology innovation. Increase national and international visibility of the department.
