4.00 Credits
(Biology) Credits: 4 Credits A continuation of Anatomy/Physiology I/Lab (BIO203) in lectures and lab work, this course concentrates on the circulatory, immune, excretory, endocrine, digestive, respiratory, and reproductive systems. In addition, lectures cover the subjects of fluid regulation and metabolism. The muscular system as well as the circulatory, digestive, respiratory, and urogenital systems form the basis of the laboratory program. Course meets: 3 hrs. lecture; 3 hrs. lab. Prerequisite: Anatomy/Physiology I/Lab (BIO203).

4.00 Credits
(Biology) Credits: 4 Credits This course covers the morphology, growth, metabolism, and genetics of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi. The course also covers the following topics: pathogenicity, disease transmission, control of microbial growth, the biological basis of resistance, immune response to infection, survey of important human pathogens, and the role of microorganisms in genetic engineering. Experimental work develops students' critical thinking skills and provides training in the culturing and identification of microorganisms. Course meets: 3 hrs. lecture; 3 hrs. lab. Prerequisite: General Biology I/Lab (BIO195) or Anatomy/Physiology I/Lab (BIO203).
-
4.00 Credits
A study of cell structure and function including the following topics: organelles, membrane function, metabolism, gene action, communication, and regulation of growth. Some specialized cells will be discussed. The laboratory will include biotechnological, molecular, and cellular experiments. Class meets: 3 hrs. lecture; 3 hrs. lab. Prerequisite: General Biology I/Lab (BIO195), General Chemistry I/Lab (CHM201) and Applications/Concepts (CIT110) or CIT placement test equivalence.
-
4.00 Credits
This course offers a broad understanding of classical, molecular and evolutionary genetics. Highlighted topics will include the molecular and chromosomal basis of inheritance, extranuclear inheritance, gene mapping and analysis, control of gene expression in pro- and eukaryotes, Chi square analysis, probability theory, DNA mutation and repair, genetics of cancer, population and human genetics. Experimental work will focus on the theory and practice of current techniques in genetics. Prerequisite: General Biology II/Lab (BIO196) or permission of science department.
-
5.00 Credits
This course offers a broad understanding of the important aspects of molecular biology and biotechnology. The course will focus on recombinant DNA technology, genetically engineered organisms, protein expression and analysis, Genomics and the far reaching applications of biotechnology. Another emphasis of this course will be on the understanding of current experimental procedures and scientific models, the underlying concepts, and the development of these models through laboratory investigation. Students will use research-quality laboratory equipment to master the laboratory techniques commonly used in biotechnology. Students will follow and modify protocols for optimum results as well as carry out inquiry-based investigations. Prerequisite: Genetics and Lab (BIO208).
-
4.00 Credits
This course will focus on the skills and work practices required for employment in the biotechnology industry. Topics will include biotech business models, company profiles, hiring trends, documentation (GLP), impact of regulatory agencies, relationship of R&D to large scale manufacturing of products, laboratory safety, intellectual property and ethical implications. This course will also expand on the concepts and applications presented in Biotechnology and Lab (BIO251). Topics will include Bioinformatics, Proteomics, immunological tools, fluorescence techniques, DNA and protein micro arrays, diagnostics tools, animal models and RNA interference (RNAi). Lab work will focus on bioassay, screening techniques, and calibrations. Formal written laboratory reports and classroom presentations will strengthen the student's communication skills. Upon completion of this course, students will be qualified to apply for internships in the biotechnology field. Prerequisite: Biotechnology and Lab (BIO251).
-
4.00 Credits
A first course in Biomedical Engineering (BME), this course introduces students to preliminary Biomedical Engineering topics. Topics include: the BME profession, morals and ethics, anatomy and physiology, static biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering, static bioinstrumentation, biosensors, biosignal processing, and models of neurons. MATLAB is used for ease in problem solving. Laboratory involves using a virtual instrument (Biopac) to record and analyze signals from the body. Class meets: 3 hrs. lecture; 2 hrs. laboratory. Prerequisite: Calculus I (MAT281) and General Chemistry I/Lab (CHM201). Co-requisite: Calculus II (MAT282).
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the techniques for analysis and modeling of biomedical systems with applications of advanced mathematics including Differential Equations, Difference Equations, State-Variables, and computer-aided methods to study problems at the interface of engineering and biology. Other topics include elements of physiological modeling and the solution of the transient and forced response for a variety of biomechanical and bioelectrical systems. Class meets: 3 hrs. lecture. Prerequisite: Biomedical Engineering I (BME100) and Calculus II (MAT282). Co-requisite: Calculus III (MAT283).
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores Fourier analysis, Laplace analysis and Z-transforms along with the techniques for generating quantitative mathematical models of physiological control systems and the behavior of physiological control systems using both time and frequency domain methods. Computer problems are implemented in MATLAB. Class meets: 3 hrs. lecture. Prerequisite: Biomedical Engineering II (BME200). Co-requisite: Ordinary Differential Equations (MAT285).
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a survey of the purpose, role, and responsibility of business in a capitalistic society, including an introduction to the major areas of business such as: Finance, Management, Economics, and Marketing. This course provides a basic foundation for the student who will specialize in some aspect of business in college, and it also provides the opportunity for nonbusiness majors to learn about the business in which they will someday be both producers and consumers. Note: this is a first semester course and must be taken prior to Principles of Management (MAN111) for students accepted into either the Management or Finance option of the Business Administration Program. This course cannot be taken for degree credit if Principles of Management (MAN111) is taken first for the aforementioned options.
