<p>I read the websites of many schools.and so far i still can't find a school that provides genetic engineering(as a major).</p>
<p>Therefore,do you know any schools that provide this major???(I even read cornell's website,but it doesn't say that they offer genetic engineering in the college of engineering.)</p>
<p>This might be a problem of terminology. Find a school with a good genetics research lab (such as University of Washington) and research majors like biotech engineering, biochem engineering, molecular biology. I think you will find that these students are the ones doing genetic engineering in the lab. Good luck!</p>
<p>Genetic engineering is a term that refers to recombinant DNA technology eg. cloning, splicing, genomics, synthetic biology. This has been the driving force behind biological drugs such as insulin. This technology is a core part of molecular biology, biomedical engineering, microbiology and other fields. Nearly every prominent school offers these disciplines.</p>
<p>I would look for universities that offer the major Biomedical Engineering, or something along the same lines.</p>
<p>There is a major difference between Biomedical Engineering and Genetic or Biological Engineering.</p>
<p>Biomedical engineering sometimes confusingly called bioengineering is the application of traditional engineering disciplines to medical problems without any necessary grounding in molecular life sciences. </p>
<p>Biological engineering on the other hand is the application of engineering principles in design, synthesis, and analysis at the genetic, molecular and cellular level to problems in many different areas including energy, the environment, drug development, agriculture, tissue engineering, nanoscale engineering of biomaterials, etc… It is also sometimes referred to as Synthetic Biology.</p>
<p>Very few schools have actual programs in biological engineering. MIT was the first university in the nation to establish a separate biological engineering discipline.</p>
<p>[MIT</a> | Department of Biological Engineering](<a href=“http://web.mit.edu/be/index.htm]MIT”>http://web.mit.edu/be/index.htm)</p>
<p>Berkeley also has new department of Bioengineering, largely based on the biological sciences.

<p>Cornell also has an established biological engineering program.

<p>Every year, MIT hosts The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM) which is the premier undergraduate Synthetic Biology competition. It grew from 5 teams in 2004 to over 112 teams in 2009 from all over the world. About half the teams are from US universities. The list provides you with a good starting point as to who is involved in this fast growing field. </p>

<p>You can also look up the Institute for Biological Engineering for information.

<p>They have a list of schools with Biological Engineering majors or concentrations.

<p>^^^ What a strange chart. The biotech sector employs hundreds of thousands of people. Employees in biotech come from many more schools than are listed above.</p>
<p>The vast majority of biotechnology programs are agricultural programs and have very little if anything to do with genetic or biological engineering at the cellular or molecular level. The above list is a perfect example. I don’t believe a single school on that list offers a program remotely associated with genetic engineering. You need to look at each school’s specific program to understand what they offer.</p>

<p>Such a program does not have a single ENGINEERING requirement. There is as much difference between biological engineering and biotechnology as there is between biochemistry and chemical engineering or physics and mechanical engineering. A true biological engineering program is an ENGINEERING program grounded in the biological sciences.</p>

<p>The OP’s question is “which schools offer genetic engineering?” I don’t know of any schools with a major in “genetic engineering”. Recombinant DNA technology (genetic engineering) is probably covered in genetics majors and biotechnology majors. especially biotechnology.</p>
<p>Biotechnology or synthetic biology is the underlying science in genetic engineering but that does not make it an engineering discipline. You can understand R-DNA by studying biochemistry and biotechnology. Therefore a foundation in biotechnology is necessary for genetic engineering just as foundation physics is required for electrical engineering or mechanical engineering to build electrical or mechanical systems. But it is not sufficient. If you want to build upon the science, or “program the R-DNA” to build tangible products that is the field of biological engineering. It is fast emerging discipline that barely existed 5 years ago which explains why none of the traditional lists of majors cover the discipline. None of the schools listed by Collegehelp would provide the training to actually use biotechnology to “create” synthetic biological systems. </p>
<p>BME has very little to do with genetic or biological engineering. It is the application of any engineering discipline to the field of medicine specifically. It is not a separate engineering discipline but builds upon traditional engineering disciplines such as mechanical or electrical engineering. It is not specifically built upon a foundation in the biological sciences.</p>
