BIOLOGY IN ENGINEERING SEMINAR

ZOOLOGY 153

Topics include: cell structure and function, cellular metabolism (enzymes, respiration, photosynthesis), information flow (DNA, RNA, protein), principles of genetics, and selected topics in Animal Physiology. Designed for engineering majors that do not need a lab component.

BME 520

Covers engineering approaches that are used to understand and manipulate stem cells. Concepts covered include: introduction to stem cell biology, quantitative modeling of stem cell signaling, methods to engineer the stem cell microenvironment, and the role of stem cells in tissue development and regeneration.

BME 330

Introduction to the fundamental principles of kinetics and transport that are relevant for the analysis of biological systems. Topics covered include concepts of reaction rate, stoichiometry, equilibrium, momentum/mass transport, and the interaction between transport and kinetics in biological systems.

BME 701

Presentation of advancements in biomedical engineering research by leaders in the field, accompanied by critical analysis of related literature.

BME 602

Special topics in biomedical engineering for graduate students or both graduate and undergraduate students together.
