Biomedical Engineering Courses
510. Biology for Biomedical Engineering (3)
Basic biological principles governing cellular processes and link these to applications in medicine, engineering and applied sciences

511. Physiology for Biomedical Engineering (3)
Fundamental concepts and principles in Physiology relevant to the field of biomedical engineering and including a survey of material necessary for an understanding of physiological principles.

516. Principles of Biomedical Engineering (3)
Designed for BME students, engineering principles governing the behavior of biomedical systems including solid and fluid mechanics, mass and heat transport, system dynamics and related mathematical techniques with applications in biomedical engineering.

517. Measurement and Data Analysis in Biomedical Engineering (3)
Topics in biomedical instrumentation, sensors, physiological measurements, analog and digital signal processing, data acquisition, data reduction, statistical treatment of data, and safety issues.

597G. Research Methods in Biomedical Engineering (1-3)
A requirement of all students in the BME Graduate Program. Students must complete laboratory rotations of 45 contact hours per unit of rotation in any participating faculty lab. Students choose and schedule their rotations after becoming familiar with the faculty research interests. The rotations expose the student to a number of research areas in Biomedical Engineering and assist in the student's choice of a dissertation/thesis advisor. Prior to performing a rotation, the student should meet with the prospective mentor to discuss the nature of the rotation. A brief report of what was accomplished in each rotation must be submitted to the Program with the rotation faculty's signature at the end of each rotation. Ph.D. candidates in Biomedical Engineering must complete at least 3 rotations (3 units) while M.S. students must complete at least 2 rotations (2 units). P, limited to BME major and minor graduate students.

693. Clinical/Industrial Internship (3)
Specialized work consisting of individual training and practice in actual service in a clinic or in a technical, business, or governmental establishment.

696A. Seminar (1)
The BME Seminar Series offers a fascinating view into the cutting-edge science of biomedical engineering. Drawing from the breadth and uniqueness of the interdisciplinary program, presenters include faculty from fields across the University, academic researchers from other locations, BME graduate students, clinicians, and representatives from industry and government.

696C. Biomedical Engineering Student Forum (1)
This is a 1 credit course which is run by Biomedical Engineering graduate students. Presentations will be given by students and guest speakers. Topics will range from individual research projects to life after grad school.
