Innovation Beyond Boundaries

Envisioning a Humanistic Future

The Grainger College of Engineering and Carle Illinois College of Medicine are creating a future where technology, engineering, and medicine converge to deliver a more humanistic approach to healthcare. Together, they're leading the way by transforming doctors into compassionate caregivers who leverage advanced technology for better patient outcomes.

Explore the Evolution

The journey began with The Grainger College of Engineering's commitment to pushing boundaries. Recognizing the power of technology and engineering in healthcare, they laid the foundation for the world's first engineering-based college of medicine, Carle Illinois College of Medicine. More than an alliance, it's a legacy of progress.

For hundreds of years physicians have been trained under the same model, but not at UIUC. Medicine is changing, technology is changing. Our students are at the forefront of re-engineering medicine.

 

“We empower people to solve tomorrow’s challenges. Through innovation, discovery and engagement, Grainger Engineers lead forward-thinking engineering discovery and innovation advancing the possible. Together, we are a force for change.”

Rashid Bashir
Dean, The Grainger College of Engineering

 

 

“Innovation is the basis of advancement, progress, and anything that we do. And in medicine, it is particularly needed. I see engineering not only as inventors and devices but solutions to many of the social and health equity issues as well.”

Dr. Victor Dzau
President, National Academy of Medicine
