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 536
This course will introduce immunology concepts from an engineering perspective and covers various immune responses including to pathogens, self, allergens, cancer, and biomaterials. Using principles of engineering we will perform an in-depth analysis of these responses and the latest advances on the development of novel therapeutics. Topics include systems immunology, nanotechnology, hydrogels, biomaterials, vaccines, cancer immunotherapy, autoimmunity, tissue engineering, stem cells, viruses, and the microbiome.
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.
CHBE 495
Discussion of advanced topics of interest. Students will spend time exploring special topics chosen with their advisor, and will participate in weekly discussion groups. The number of credits will vary and are awarded based on total time required to explore the chosen project. Repeatable for Credit.
CHBE 800
Repeatable for Credit.
SSPB 800
Graduate students will conduct independent research/thesis project under the direction of their advisor. Repeatable for Credit.
