Nine hours of biomedical engineering technical elective courses are required. These may be selected from the following list* of courses.

- BMED 4400 Introduction to Neuroengineering
- BMED 4477 Biological Networks and Genomics
- BMED 4500 Cell and Tissue Engineering Laboratory
- BMED 4750 Diagnostic Imaging Physics
- BMED 4751 Introduction to Biomaterials
- BMED 4752 Introductory Neuroscience
- BMED 4757 Biofluid Mechanics
- BMED 4758 Biosolid Mechanics
- BMED 4765 Drug Design, Development and Delivery
- BMED 4783 Introduction to Medical Image Processing
- BMED 4784 Engineering Electrophysiology
- BMED 2699/4699 Undergraduate Research**

Students may use these electives to probe more deeply into multiple sub-disciplines, or choose to concentrate all courses within the same sub-discipline. For the latter case, the following combinations of electives are suggested:

- Cardiovascular Systems: BMED 4751, 4757, 4758 and/or 4784
- Biomechanics: BMED 4751, 4757 and 4758
- Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering: BMED 4500, 4751, 4758 and/or 4765
- Neuroengineering: BMED 4400, 4752 and 4784
- Medical Imaging: BMED 4750, 4752 and 4783

* Engineering courses not included in this list would need to be approved in advance by the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies. Such courses are typically at the 4000-level and have content that adds depth to an area within the BMED curriculum. Seniors with a grade point average of at least 3.0 may schedule graduate level BMED courses as acceptable alternatives, subject to the approval of the course professor and the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies.

** Up to six hours of research for credit (BMED 2699/4699) will be allowed to count as BMED technical elective credit, provided the research was conducted in the same lab over a period of at least two semesters (Note: BMED 2698/4698 (research for pay) may be used to help satisfy the two-semester requirement). Students who want to use BME-related research conducted in a lab in another school/department will have to have this pre-approved by the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies.
