3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to natural and biomimetic polymers taught with an interdisciplinary view of biology, chemistry and macromolecular science. Topics covered in this course include: natural buildtheing blocks and methods by which nature carries out polymer synthesis and modification reactions; DNA; structural proteins; plant proteins; polysaccharides; polyesters; biosurfactants; polymers built from natural monomers and a wide variety of renewable resources; Uses of these polymers as fibers, films, rheological modifiers, flocculants, foams, adhesives and membranes; Special applications of natural polymers in medicine and as biodegradable plastics. Co-listed as CM 7923, Prerequisite: Adviser's approval.

3.00 Credits
Provides students with fundamental knowledge of the relevant background science, theory, practice, and materials required to provide modern orthopedic and trauma care. Students learn about biomaterials used in orthopedics and how they have become increasingly sophisticated through materials engineering. The course covers important clinical applications as well as fundamental concepts in biomechanics of bone and other tissues, materials used, wear and corrosion during use, dental implants, joint replacement devices and more. Prerequisite: BE 6703 Materials in Medicine.

6.00 Credits
Fundamental or applied research in biomedical engineering that is performed under supervision of a faculty member. Conferences scheduled. Master's degree candidates are required to submit three unbound copies of their reports to advisers one week before the last day of classes. Credits: 6 total, each 3 credits. Prerequisite: Degree status.

3.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to the modern protein engineering techniques available to researchers to understand protein structure and function and to create entirely new proteins for a variety of purposes. This is a new field that lies on the interface of chemistry, biology and engineering. The first part of the course will discuss the protein composition and structure, various genetic, biochemical and chemical techniques required to engineer proteins, which then will be followed by specific topics. Topics will include designing proteins that are highly structured; active at high temperatures and in non-aqueous solvents; that selectively interact with other proteins, small molecules and nucleic acids for therapeutic purposes; and that catalyze new reactions. Prerequisite: CM9413 or adviser's approval.
-
3.00 Credits
This courses instructs students in the following: i) basic biological processes that occur during blood contact with artificial surfaces, ii) how to critically read and review the literature in the field of tissue engineering, iii) how to anticipate biocompatibility issues relevant to a variety of implant devices that the student may encounter in future endeavors, iv) current approaches directed toward the engineering of cell-based replacements for various tissue types. Prerequisite: Adviser's approval.

3.00 Credits
Provides students with a working knowledge of how to use biotransformations as a tool in organic chemistry. Students will learn about general enzymatic reaction types that carry out the cleavage and formation of C-O bonds, P-O bonds, C-N bonds, C-C bonds, reduction reactions, oxidation reactions and isomerizations. In addition, students will be taught about advanced principles that are currently being applied to the engineering of catalytic proteins. Co-listed as CM 9053. Prerequisite: CM 2214, CM 2614 and CM 3314.
-
0.00 Credits
Recent developments in biomedical engineering are presented by engineers and scientists from industry and academia. Two and four semesters are required for master's and PhD students, respectively. Credits: 0. Prerequisite: None.
-
9.00 Credits
Thesis for the master's degree in biomedical engineering should give results of original investigation of problems in biomedical engineering or application of physical, chemical or other scientific principles to biomedical engineering. Thesis may involve experimental research, theoretical analyses or process designs, or combinations thereof. Master's degree candidates are required to submit four unbound copies to advisers before the seventh Wednesday prior to commencement. Registration of at least 9 credits required. Credits: 9 total, each 3 credits. Prerequisite: Degree status.
-
3.00 Credits
An intensive review of those aspects of organic chemistry and biochemistry necessary to begin research in bioinformatics and to enter graduate courses in biology. Covalent bonding, quantum mechanical basis of bond formation, three-dimensional structure of molecules, reaction mechanisms, catalysis, polymers, enzymes, thermodynamic and kinetic foundations, metabolic pathways, sequence and structure of macromolecules. This course makes extensive use of computer approaches to convey the essential computational and visual nature of material to be covered. Prerequisites: CM102, general chemistry, general physics, organic chemistry and calculus.
