Courses - Summer 2025
BIOE232
Bioengineering Thermodynamics
Credits:
3
Grad Meth:
Reg, P-F, Aud
Prerequisite: PHYS261 and PHYS260.
Restriction: Permission of ENGR-Fischell Department of Bioengineering department.
Credit only granted for: BIOE232, ENES232, ENME232, or ENME320.
A quantitative introduction to thermodynamic analysis of bioengineering systems. Bioengineering encompasses a wide range of applications from nanoscale interactions (e.g. reactions between molecules), to cellular interactions (e.g. membrane electrical currents), to overall balances on organisms, all the way to large scale manufacturing. Each of these applications (and many others not mentioned) involve energy interactions which is the domain of thermodynamics. The basic laws of thermodynamics will be introduced and explained through a series of examples related to bioengineering systems.

BIOE431
Fundamentals of Biosensor Techniques, Instrumentation, and Applications
Credits:
3
Grad Meth:
Reg, P-F, Aud
Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C- in BIOE120, CHEM135, and either BSCI330 or (BSCI331 and BSCI332).
Restriction: Permission of ENGR-Fischell Department of Bioengineering and must be in Engineering: Bioengineering program.
Jointly offered with: BIOE631.
Credit only granted for: BIOE431, BIOE631, or BIOE658W.
A thorough review of fundamental concepts of biosensing systems, principles of common detection methods, and modern applications of biosensors. Primarily literature driven. Students will obtain a detailed understanding of cutting-edge biosensing techniques, the instrumentation used, and the application space. Students also will develop skills in using current literature as a source of knowledge.
BIOE437
Computer-Aided Design in Bioengineering
Credits:
3
Grad Meth:
Reg, P-F, Aud
Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C- in BIOE120 or must be in Engineering: Bioengineering program.
Restriction: Permission of ENGR-Fischell Department of Bioengineering and must be in Engineering: Bioengineering program.
Credit only granted for: BIOE437, ENME414, or ENME272.
Introduction to Computer-Aided Design (CAD). Lecture topics will summarize design methodology, review best-practices in hardware development, and discuss engineering applications. The course will culminate in a student-selected project leveraging CAD.
BIOE489P
Special Topics in Bioengineering; Introduction to Bioinformatics
Credits:
3
Grad Meth:
Reg, P-F, Aud
Prereq: BSCI330
This course explores essential tools and methodologies used in bioinformatics, catering to a life sciences audience interested in biological data analysis. The curriculum is structured to enhance understanding through practical, hands-on sessions using industry-standard software. Key areas of focus include database navigation, sequence alignment, gene prediction, protein structure and function analysis, and genomic and transcriptomic assembly. Each week builds on the previous, starting with the basics of bioinformatics and advancing to complex data analysis techniques.
