Repeatable for Credit.

Independent investigation of a specific topic in modern bioengineering research under the direction of a faculty member. Repeatable for Credit.

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.

This course explores fundamental biological mechanisms underlying human disease, from molecular and cellular dysfunction to tissue- and organ-level pathology. Students learn how genetic, environmental, and infectious factors interact to cause disease, with emphasis on molecular signaling, immune regulation, and systems-level consequences. While quantitative perspectives are welcome, the focus is on biological understanding and interpretation of disease processes. Recommended Prerequisite(s): Anatomy and Physiology, Cell Biology

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.
