1 In the cell and tissue engineering track, of the 9 points of technical electives, at least 4.5 must be from engineering courses.
2 In the biomechanics track, of the 9 points of technical electives, at least 2.5 points must be from engineering courses.
3 In the imaging track, core requirements satisfy the 48 points of engineering content.
4 BMEN E4010: Ethics for biomedical engineers is a SEAS nontechnical course.
BMEN E4002y Quantitative physiology, II:
organ systems
Lect: 3. 3 pts. Professor Morrison.
Prerequisites or corequisites: CHEM C3443;
BIOL C2005, C2006. Students are introduced to
a quantitative, engineering approach to cellular
biology and mammalian physiology. Beginning
with biological issues related to the cell, the course
progresses to considerations of the major physiological
systems of the human body (nervous,
circulatory, respiratory, renal).
BMEN E4010y Ethics for biomedical engineers
Lect: 2. 2 pts. Professor Loike.
Prerequisite: Senior status in biomedical engineering
or the instructor’s permission. Covers a
wide range of ethical issues expected to confront
graduates as they enter the biotechnology industry,
research, or medical careers. Topics vary and
incorporate guest speakers from Physicians and
Surgeons, Columbia Law School, Columbia
College, and local industry.
