• BME 4990: Research & Internship I

  1.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course provides support and processes for conducting a senior thesis project. The thesis project can be done as part of an internship experience in biomedical engineering and closely related fields, or in an academic research lab. Students must submit a contract signed by their supervisor or faculty mentor before enrolling in the course. The research/internship project is determined by the student and faculty mentor/supervisor. This course must be taken prior to BME 4991 and BME 4992 (BME Thesis I and II). Prerequisites: Full Major status in Biomedical Engineering.

• BME 4991: Thesis Writing & Comm I

  2.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course, in conjunction with BME 4992, fulfills the University's upper-division writing requirement (CW). The instructional foci of this course is three-fold: research thesis writing, technical speaking, and poster development. Prior to entering this course, students must have completed a research project. The data derived by the research is used as content for the thesis, research presentations, and research poster. Instructional feedback is provided on each iteration of the thesis, scientific presentation, and research poster. BME 4990 is the pre-requisite to BME 4991. Entry into this course is determined by completion of research as represented by the content of the BME 4990 final report. Prerequisites: 'C' or better in BME 4990.

• BME 4992: Thesis Wrtg & Comm II

  2.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  BME 4992 is the second half of the research thesis writing, technical communication, and research poster development course begun in BME 4991. The class requires each student to further refine to a professional level both the oral and written presentation of his or her scientific research project. Due to the writing and communication emphasis of the class, it along with BME 4991, covers the University's upper-division CW requirement. At the conclusion for the semester, students complete their senior these and participate in a public research symposium where they provide a five-minute oral presentation and a poster presentation. Prerequisites: 'C' or better in BME 4991.

• BME 5005: Comp. Neuroscience

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course focuses on use of computational models to explore classical and modern problems in neurophysiology, including the integrative properties of single neurons, representation of sensory stimuli in single neurons and neuronal populations, pattern representation and completion in neural networks, and mechanisms of learning and adaptive behavior. Students are expected to perform a substantial amount of programming in problem sets and a course project. Prerequisites: BME 4101 AND BME 3202.

• BME 5110: Regulatory Affairs I

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course is designed to help students succeed in the biomedical industry by providing students with a solid understanding of current government regulations and how to apply them. This course places special emphasis on US medical device regulations. The course stresses the practical, hands-on, project-based learning by analysis of real-world case studies, preparation of actual regulatory submissions, and communication with industry professionals. This is a stand-alone course and does not require continuation in Regulatory Affairs II - Drugs, Biologics, and Combination Products.

• BME 5120: Regulatory Affairs II

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  Biomedical Engineering, especially the development of drugs, biologics, medical devices, and combination products is highly regulated by US FDA and other regulatory agencies around the globe. Succeeding in the biomedical industry requires both a good understanding of current regulations and the ability to apply them in a realistic practical environment. There is a strong demand in industry for graduates with practical knowledge of regulatory affairs. This course is the 2nd of the Department of Bioengineering's hands-on regulatory affairs curriculum. This course is a standalone course and does not require Regulatory Affairs I as a prerequisite. This semester will place special emphasis on the regulation of drugs, biologics, and combination products. This semester also will provide an overview of international regulatory affairs.

• BME 5160: Engr Aspects Clin Med

  2.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  The course acquaints upper level undergraduate and beginning graduate students with the role technology plays in everyday clinical practice. Five or six different medical technologies, such as joint replacements, medical imaging, gait analysis, etc., will be explored. For each, the nature of the clinical condition being treated will be presented along with an explanation of the physical and engineering principles behind the technology being used to treat or diagnose the condition. The following week, the class will visit the appropriate clinic to observe the procedure and discuss what is going on from a clinical, ethical, and societal point of view with an attending physician. Prerequisites: Full Major status in Biomedical Engineering.

• BME 5220: Biofluid Mechanics

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  The overall purpose of this course is to develop competencies in fluid mechanics principles using practical examples and clinical case studies of how fluid mechanics knowledge is applied to biomedical applications. There will be two courses (an upper-undergraduate and graduate-level) that will meet at the same time. The reason for the two offerings is to provide each level with a strong understanding of the course topic; however, for additional rigor, graduate students will be required to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the application of the course topic in the research setting. As such, graduate students will be required to write a term paper on a TBD topic and give an approximately 30-minute presentation on the topic in the course. Prerequisites: "C" or better in (BME 3301 AND BME 4250) AND Full major status in Biomedical Engineering.
