Explores six biotechnology product development specialties including regulatory, quality, and clinical aspects, while focusing on leadership and implementation plans to bring products to market.
Molecular Technologies II: Biomanufacturing covers nucleic acid/protein analysis, purification strategies, and batch record development for biotech manufacturing.
Professional Development and Effective Management focuses on management techniques, career success, leading biotech teams, and developing resumes and interviewing skills.
Advanced course investigating global biotechnology topics like stem cells, metagenomics, and biomanufacturing, focusing on scientific, ethical, and regulatory standards.
Explores how biotech firms gain competitive advantage using business tools and critiques leadership decision-making under uncertainty to develop company-wide strategy.
Students identify a global biotechnology problem, develop a novel technical solution, analyze it from business, regulatory, and IP perspectives, and write a final capstone thesis.
Cooperative Education Program providing full-time workplace experience where students apply engineering theory and practical knowledge in a professional setting.
The class was unorganized, and grading rubrics for the design project were sometimes posted just hours before deadlines, requiring persistent follow-up.
Biomedical Engineering Design and Communication applies technical communication to real-world, client-based projects, covering research methods, documentation, report critique, ethics, diversity, and professional development.
Introduction to biomechanics covering the mechanical behavior of biological tissues, including bone, muscle, and soft connective tissues, their structure, function, and mechanical properties.
Covers biological systems governing biomaterial applications, current materials for biomedical use, analytical techniques for evaluation, and major medical applications where biomaterials are important.
Expect heavy workloads, including 50-page readings and reading quizzes before lectures. Exams make up the majority of the grade and cover all slide content.
Covers ECM protein structure, function, and biophysical properties, linking them to cell/tissue function and exploring ECM engineering for regenerative medicine.
Lectures were fast-paced, requiring students to keep up with the content. Practice problems and homework helped reinforce understanding of the material.
A special topics course in biomedical engineering for graduate students or mixed graduate and undergraduate groups, covering advanced theories, concepts, and methods.
Medical Devices Ecosystem covers developing therapeutic or diagnostic devices through gap analysis, market analysis, regulatory approval, and supply chain development.
Hands-on training in optical imaging, microscopy, and instrumentation for life-sciences applications, covering system construction, resolution, spectroscopy, and bioimaging.
