3.00 Credits
This interdisciplinary course will introduce students to basic principles of biomedical rehabilitation engineering. The course will present principles of disability and the diverse roles of engineering in medicine and rehabilitation. Students will use engineering methods to study anatomical and physiological systems including applications in rehabilitation engineering, bioinstrumentation, biosignal and image processing, biomechanics, and biomaterials. Prerequisites: MA131/132, PH131/132, junior or senior standing.

3.00 Credits
This course details how rehab devices and techniques can be analyzed via an integrated, multidisciplinary approach that merges communication, coding and information theories from engineering disciplines, hardware and software principles from the computer sciences, and clinical and scientific neuroscientific, psychophyisical, human factors, and linguistic concepts. Lossless and lossy signal compression and coding techniques, and analyses of residual or substitute channel capacity, from both information theory and human factors, form the core of this course. This course requires knowledge of logarithms and Excel. Engineering or psychology background is helpful.
-
3.00 Credits
Definition of science, the scientific method, overview and scope of modern biology, introduction to biomolecules and cell structure, Mendelian inheritance and genetics, human physiology, evolution, and ecology. Course topics are presented from the perspective of current issues in biotechnology, medicine, and human impact on the biosphere. This course is intended for students who are not majoring in the biological sciences and my not be taken by students with credit for BY100 or BY140.
-
1.00 Credits
Companion laboratory course to BY110 introducing students to the scientific method of laboratory and field experimentation used by contemporary biologists.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines how human activity impacts the environment. Topics include air and water pollution, environmental systems management, industrial ecology and environmental policy with emphasis on the multidimensional aspects of currently environmental issues. Case studies of chemical exposures, life cycle assessments, and integrated resources management will be used to discuss the process of environmental decision making.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to biomolecules, organelles, and cytoarchitecture of cells, energy metabolism and photosynthesis, DNA replication, transcription of RNA, protein synthesis, gene regulation, development and differentiation with a view towards biotechnology. Co-requisite: BY162.
-
2.00 Credits
Companion laboratory course to BY160 providing a practical introduction to laboratory skills used in preparation of solutions, cell culture, biochemical manipulation and analysis of nucleic acid and proteins, oral communication of biological research in the context of experimentation related to BY160. Co-requisite: BY160.
-
3.00 Credits
The overall goal of this course is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the science of genetics. Classical principles of Mendelian genetics will be covered, however, the emphasis will be placed on fundamentals of molecular genetics and recent advances. Major topics include gene structure and function, genetic recombination, genetic engineering, genomics, gene and chromosome mutations, regulation of gene transcription, cell cycle and cancer genetics, developmental genetics, and an introduction to population genetics.
-
1.00 Credits
The objective of this course is to present recent advances in biological and biomolecular research, and to describe opportunities for graduate study and undergraduate summer research. Students will receive one credit for attending biology seminars (6 per semester), reading a journal article prior to each presentation, writing short review of each seminar, and participating in discussions. This course can be taken for credit more than once.
-
3.00 Credits
In this course, we will conduct a diversity survey of animal life with emphasis on invertebrates. Course content will primarily consist of comparing the major animal phyla emphasizing integration of form, function, ecology, and phylogeny.
