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, 4781 and/or 4784
- Biomechanics: BMED 4751, 4757 and 4758
- Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering: BMED 4500,
4751, 4758 and/or 4765
- Neuroengineering: BMED 4400, 4752, 4781 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. Click
