BIOE 498 class schedule data for fall 2024
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
58781	Lecture-Discussion	SR1	12:30PM -1:50PM	TR	3101 Sidney Lu Mech Engr Bldg	Bacon, A Golecki, H	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/26/24-12/11/24 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Soft Robotics Section Info: In this design course, we will explore soft materials used for devices to interface with humans, mimic natural systems, and improve upon traditional robots. Students will: (1) Explore fundamentals of polymer chemistry and flexible sensors. (2) Read and discuss current literature in the field. (3) Build actuators and sensors using polymer molding, Arduino controls (no prior experience necessary). (4) Design novel advances in bioinspired, wearable, or implantable soft robots.
70240	Lecture	ST1	5:00PM -6:20PM	TR	2233 Everitt Laboratory	Nie, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/26/24-12/11/24 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Surgical Technologies Section Info: This course will introduce students to technologies in use and in development for surgical procedures. Content will span surgical methodologies, instruments, and biomaterials, including advanced topics in intraoperative imaging, minimally invasive procedures, and surgical robotics. The course will focus on engineering and design principles with guest lectures by clinicians and MedTech industry specialists. Prerequisites: BIOE 205, BIOE 302, BIOE 303, and BIOE 414, or their equivalents.
56513	Lecture	TC1	2:00PM -3:20PM	TR	2310 Everitt Laboratory	Liu, Y	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/26/24-12/11/24 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.
