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 519
Biomaterials covers the design and synthesis of materials which interact with biologic phenomena such as cell-free, microbial, and mammalian systems. Topics covered include: surfaces and surface fractionalization, biomedical implants and them immune response, three dimensional cell culture systems, and regulatory hurdles (e.g., FDA clearance). The class will be rooted in a historical perspective, with a particular emphasis on the latest techniques in synthetic chemistry relating to biomaterials. This course is intended for BIOE PhD students only. Recommended Prerequisite(s): BIOE 516 and BIOE 517
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.
CHEM 800
Repeatable for Credit.
