The specific goals of the curriculum components are (1) to leverage our expertise in teaching methodologies, such as problem-based learning, that are a model to other departments internationally, (2) to facilitate adequate depth of knowledge acquisition in areas critival to each student's thesis research, and (3) to provide advanced graduate courses in the areas of research in which the department faculty members excel.

The curriculum facilitates individual flexibility and depth of study through coursework selected by the student and thesis advisor in specific categories as follows:

BME Integrative Core (two 3-credit hour courses required)

Engineering/Bioscience Fundamentals (18 hours minimum)

BME Advanced Graduate Seminar (one required course of 3 to 5-credit hours)

Additional course requirements include:

Bioethics (1 credit hour course)

Teaching Assistant Training & Assistantships (three 1-credit hour courses)

Seminar Participation (four 1-credit hour courses)

Academic Minor (a 9-credit hour minor is required by Georgia Tech and is typically met using courses in the Engineering/Bioscience Fundamentals category)

The resulting total minimum number of required credit hours is 35. It is anticipated (although not required) that students may take other elective coursework to fulfill the requirements of their individual research projects and/or training grants.
