BIOE 500
Repeatable for Credit.
BIOE 506
Independent investigation of a specific topic in modern bioengineering research under the direction of a faculty member. Repeatable for Credit.
BIOE 507
Students take BIOE 507 as a Component I of the research concentration of the MBE program. The class is 2 credit hours counting toward an MBE degree. The project may vary depending on the mentor’s group focus and range from lab assay work, material studies, design, and assembly of biomedical devices, simulations, and many others. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for BIOE 507 if student has credit for BIOE 307.
BIOE 539
Course will cover fundamentals of probability and statistics with emphasis on application to biomedical problems and experimental design. Recommended for students pursuing careers in medicine or biotechnology. Recommended Prerequisite(s): BIOE 252 Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for BIOE 539 if student has credit for BIOE 439.
BIOE 543
Semester-long course on fundamental properties of DNA, and their role in DNA biotechnology. Students will develop, analyze, and simulate simple biophysical models of DNA reactions, as well as learn and model methods of modern DNA biotechnology. Proficiency with MATLAB required.
BIOE 607
Students take BIOE 607 as a Component II of research concentration of the MBE program. The class is 5 credit hours counting toward MBE degree. The project focuses on research project defined within Component I and its results. Results will be presented to open forum of students and faculty. The grade for this class is awarded based on the report and presentation.
