BIOE 498 class schedule data for spring 2022
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
31792	Lecture	AL	12:30PM -1:50PM	TR	2233 Everitt Laboratory	Sirk, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/22-05/04/22 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Immunoengineering Section Info: Students will explore concepts surrounding the field of immunoengineering, with a focus on understanding engineering approaches in both basic and translational research, as applied to the immune system and its manipulation for disease intervention and management. Students will rigorously investigate design principles underlying immunologically-based therapies and diagnostics. Critical analysis of scientific findings will be facilitated through instructor-led lectures, student-led literature discussions, and in-class activities and homework. Through activities and assignments, students should gain a deeper understanding of the underlying physical, chemical, and biological components that have facilitated immunogengineering advances, with an emphasis on developing novel, innovative solutions to address limitations in existing technology. Assignments, exams, and in-class activities will focus on critical analysis and thoughtful evaluation of data and conclusions, as well as effective written and oral communication skills. Restriction(s): Restricted to BS:Bioengineering - UIUC.
68803	Lecture	LEC	2:00PM -3:20PM	TR	106B1 Engineering Hall	Smith, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/22-05/04/22 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Tech for Cancer Diag & Therapy Section Info: Technologies for Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy provides an introduction to how cancer is diagnosed and treated, focusing on related fundamental concepts in cancer biology and bioengineering. One major goal is for students to become comfortable integrating principles from physics, chemistry, engineering, and biology related to current strategies for understanding, detecting, and treating cancer. A second major goal is for students to understand and assess innovative solutions to current limitations in the field, and to use this information to generate a research proposal in the format of an NIH R21, which will be written and reviewed throughout the course term. The materials and content are designed for first year graduate students and senior undergraduate students from diverse majors. Recommended Prerequisites: BIOE 206 and CHEM 232, or equivalent knowledge.
39551	Lecture	PJ	1:00PM -1:50PM	MWF	2233 Everitt Laboratory	Jensen, P	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/22-05/04/22 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Exprmnt Design & Optimization Section Info: All engineers perform experiments. Whether they be “wet-lab” or simulated, experiments test the limits of our hypotheses and drive our understanding. Often engineers want to go beyond validating their theories and models. Engineers want the best designs – the optimal combination of cost, reliability, performance, and usability. This course presents a systematic framework for optimizing experiments and models. Using both experimental data and computer simulations, students will explore methods to efficiently search large design spaces.
51297	Lecture	RI	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	2101 Everitt Laboratory	Amos, J Kelly, V	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/22-05/04/22 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Regulatory & Safety Issues Section Info: Overview of regulatory agencies involved in approval of medical products. Approaches to safety and risk analysis for medical products. Students will learn from case studies of medical product approvals and perform risk analysis for medical products. This course would be suitable for students across all tracks. Recommended prerequisite knowledge: graduate standing or senior standing and credit for or enrolled in BIOE 435, 436.
