  • BE 460 - Biomedical Engineering Design Project I


    3 credit(s)
    Senior-level design project, two-semester sequence. Over the course of two terms, students work on projects of biomedical engineering design originated by faculty or external mentors. Students develop a proposal, then design (or redesign) and construct a biomedical device, process, or system. A formal, written presentation of the project is expected, along with an oral presentation of the completed project. This is a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work, and incorporating engineering standards and realistic constraints that include most of the following considerations: economic, environmental, sustainability, manufacturing, ethical, health and safety, social, and political. Course lecture component includes design methodology (including probability and statistics), cost estimation, and safety.
    Prerequisite(s): Senior standing in biomedical engineering.
    Laboratory fee.

  • BE 480 - Biomedical Engineering Practicum


    3 credit(s)
    Senior-level practicum. Students are placed in medical research laboratories to learn the requirements of off-campus biomedical engineering research (such as research laboratories, clinical engineering facilities, or biomedical device industries). Involvement with daily activities under the direction of a faculty member and external mentor is expected. Students are expected to keep a daily log of activities and write a final report on their efforts.
    Prerequisite(s): Senior standing or permission of instructor. Required of all undergraduate biomedical engineering students.

  • BE 485 - Biomedical Engineering Research


    3 credit(s)
    Senior-level research. Students are placed in medical research laboratories to achieve a research goal under the co-direction of the faculty advisor and the director of the research laboratory. The specific research project will be determined during consultation of the student with the faculty and research advisor. Students are expected to keep a daily log of activities and write a final report on their efforts. The final report will be of a style suitable for journal publication.
    Prerequisite(s): Senior standing or permission of instructor. Required of all biomedical engineering students.

  • BIO 130 - Introduction to Environmental Science


    4 credit(s)
    This course introduces fundamental principles, concepts, and methodologies of environmental science from an interdisciplinary approach. Both local and global environmental issues are explored from ecological, social, economic, and governmental policy perspectives. Students gain an understanding of the basic scientific methods, tools and techniques needed to understand and analyze environmental issues including population growth, water quality, air pollution, environmental toxicology, waste management, climate change, biodiversity, renewable energy and sustainability. A two and half hour laboratory each week is required in addition to the lecture. Students are required to make several field trips to environmental sites and conduct indoor and outdoor experiments as part of this course and write a term paper dealing with a current environmental issue.
    Laboratory fee.
