During their academic careers, students in this area of study learn aspects of computer science, chemistry, and materials science in addition to biology and multiple engineering specialties.

Blended learning combines digital and online media with traditional face-to-face learning. It allows teachers to use a variety of teaching methods and technology to customize learning for each student. Blended learning can be used in various forms, from completely online courses to hybrid courses where students learn both in the physical classroom as well as online.
