SBES Course Descriptions:
Introduction to Biomedical Engineering
Broad spectrum of biomedical engineering research areas. Emphasis placed on the multidisciplinary nature of biomedical engineering. Methods of mathematical modeling and engineering analyses related to biomedical engineering. Covers fundamental concepts such as biomaterials, biomechanics, tissue engineering, biomedical imaging and nanomedicine. Prerequisites: ENGE 1104 or ENGE 1114, PHYS 2305. Co: MATH 2214. (3H,3C)
Introduction to Medical Physiology
An introductory to the principles of medical physiology. Designed primarily for (but not limited to), undergraduate students minoring in biomedical engineering, and other related engineering and physical sciences majors with little or no formal background in biological sciences. Basic principles and concepts of human physiology. Special emphasis on the interactions of human systems biology in their entirety rather than individual genes and pathways. Pre: Junior standing or permission of instructor. (3H, 3C).
BME Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate Research course that provides students an opportunity to work individually with a professor on a biomedical engineering application or research project. In order to enroll, the student and professor must work together to fill out an undergraduate research/independent study form which must be signed by the Instructor, Instructor's Department Head, Student's Department Head (if different from Student's), and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
