* Students interested in Medical School may substitute CHEM 211 and 212 General Chemistry (8) for PHYS 262, PHYS 263, and CHEM 251. Such students are encouraged to see the university's premedical advisor to determine any additional courses that they should consider.

** This sequence of two technical courses allows students to elect foundation courses in computers and/or computational systems. Examples of approved sequences are ECE 301 Digital Electronics and CS 222 Computer Programming for Engineers, and CS 211 Object-Oriented Programming and CS 310 Data Structures.

*** Students choose from sets of approved technical electives. One of the Technical Electives may be an approved life science course.

Biocomputation Concentration

The proposed program is designed to allow the introduction of courses that would expand the students' choice in different areas of bioengineering. An approved example is a set of courses that would lead to a Concentration in Biocomputation within the BE program.

The biocomputation concentration allows students to acquire knowledge and expertise of computer science to apply to biomedical problems, thereby creating inter-disciplinary bioengineers with analytical skills in both bioelectronics and biocomputation. The required courses (totaling 19 credit hours) in this concentration are:

Math 125 Discrete Math
CS 105 Computer Ethics
CS 211 Object-Oriented Programming
CS 310 Data Structures
BENG/CS 401 Molecular Bioinformatics)
CS 450 Database Concepts

One elective from:
CS 480 Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
CS 483 Analysis of Algorithms
CS 484 Data Mining
STAT 499 Biomedical Statistics

Since three of the above courses (CS 211, CS 310, and BENG/CS 401) are already part of the BE curriculum, this concentration replaces only two courses (7 credit hours):

PHYS 262/263 Univ Physics III - 4 credit hours (with MATH 125 and CS 105)
BENG zz - Asst. Control Biomed Sys - 3 credit hours (with CS 450)

Students choosing this concentration will take BENG/CS 402 as one of their three Technical Electives, and will elect another course from the set of four above.
