STUDENT HANDBOOK 12/13 A S BIG students have the flexibility to study a wide range of courses that can be targeted to the individual student's professional goals. However, so that all BIG students have a fundamental foundation in bioengineering, they must take key courses that will satisfy this core requirement. The elective list is substantial and also includes medical school courses offered in the UCR/UCLA Thomas Haider Program in Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program. BIG Core Courses All BIG students are required to take at least three courses from the following Bioengineering courses. Other courses may be substituted but must be approved by the Bioengineering Graduate Advisor. Students from non‐engineering backgrounds are required to take BIEN 268. M.S. and Ph.D. students alike are expected to complete the course requirements for the programs within their first year of residence. Please note that students from non‐engineering backgrounds will be required to take BIEN 264‐Biotransport Phenomena. 1. BIEN 223 ‐ Engineering Analysis of Physiological Systems 2. BIEN 224 ‐ Cellular and Molecular Engineering 3. BIEN 245– Optical Methods in Biology, Chemistry, and Engineering 4. BIEN 249 ‐ Integration of Computational and Experimental Biology 5. BIEN 264 ‐ Biotransport Phenomena 6. BIEN 268 ‐ Bioengineering Experimentation and Analysis Other Requirements Other required courses: One bioscience class chosen from: BCH 210 ‐ Biochemistry of Macromolecules BCH 211 ‐ Molecular Biology BCH 212 ‐ Signal Transduction and Biochemical Regulation BIOL/CMDB 200 ‐ Cell Biology BIOL/CMDB 201 ‐ Molecular Biology BIOL 203 ‐ Cellular Biophysics BIOL 221 ‐ Microbial Genetics Equivalent Selections from Biomedical Sciences Medical School Courses In addition, BIEN 286‐Colloquium in Bioengineering, is required every quarter in which it is offered. 5
STUDENT HANDBOOK 12/13 A S S Every student was chosen for graduate study in BIEN after an extensive selection process. You were chosen because the faculty believes you have the motivational and intellectual qualities needed to perform well in our program. We fully expect every student to perform well and to be successful in their graduate career. The following is an excerpt from the University of California, Riverside Graduate Council Policy on Academic Standards. You can view the full policy on the Office of Graduate Studies website. Only courses in which grades of "A," "B," "C," or "S" are received are counted toward satisfying graduate degree requirements. To continue in good standing and obtain an advanced degree, students must maintain a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.00. In addition, all students must demonstrate acceptable progress toward their degree objectives. This entails the satisfactory completion of all course work and other degree requirements in a timely fashion. Students are considered to be making unacceptable progress and become subject to dismissal when: they have 12 or more units of "I" grades outstanding; the overall GPA falls below 3:00; the quarterly GPA falls below 3.00 for two consecutive quarters; they fail to take their oral qualifying exams within five years; they fail to fulfill program requirements such as exams or research in a timely and satisfactory manner; they have not completed their programs within one year after reaching the normative time; they fail to pass comprehensive or qualifying examinations in two attempts. Please contact the Graduate Student Affairs Assistant if you have any questions on the Standards of Scholarship policies. 6
