With state-of-the-art teaching labs and fabrication facilities, the Life Sciences Engineering Building (LSEB) lets students and faculty get their hands dirty in this brand-new multiuse active learning space. The ribbon cutting didn’t officially happen until March 27, but LSEB already experienced a housewarming.

The Fundamentals in Engineering (FE) exam is a source of terror for many aspiring engineers. It’s the ultimate final, testing skills from every core competency students learn over the course of their degrees. Those who pass are taking the first step in becoming a certified licensed professional engineer (PE).

In the lifespan of legacy research universities, 53 years is barely old enough to read. Twelve years might as well be an eye-blink. Yet, George Mason University has always proved itself a prodigy. The bioengineering department is no exception.

The Bioengineering Department at the College of Engineering and Computing is excited to welcome four new Bioengineering Alliance members to the department. These members will bring new energy, expertise, and vision to move the department forward.

Biomedical engineering has been an up-and-coming career field for years, but graduating and getting that first job can feel like scaling a cliff. At George Mason’s bioengineering department, however, the faculty, staff, and fellow students collaborate to rig their future colleagues a safety net.

Researchers Farrokh Alemi and Kevin Lybarger receive George Mason University’s first Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) award to develop innovative AI technology, including large language models, for improving antidepressant recommendations.
