4.00 Credits
This course will introduce the materials, terminology, effects, & devices used in the field of liquid crystal optics. Basic structures in nematic and cholesteric liquid crystals will be discussed & related to optical phenomena like transmittance, absorption, scattering, birefringence & selective reflection (the effect seen in scarab beetles & utilized to protect the OMEGA laser at LLE from blowing itself up). Two keys for device applications are LC chemical composition and molecular alignment, & these will be covered in order to understand the manufacture & operation of passive devices like wave plates & selective reflection polarizers. The basic electro-optics for active devices like EO switches & LC displays will also be covered. Other applications to be explored include mood rings, polarizing pigments for document security, smart windows, & car paint. Chemical engineering graduate students will be given enough introductory optics to understand the concepts & applications described in the course.

4.00 Credits
This course teaches the principles of modern cell and tissue engineering with a focus on understanding and manipulating the interactions between cells and their environment. After a brief overview of Cell and Tissue Engineering, the course covers 5 areas of the field. These are: 1) Physiology for Tissue Engineering; 2) Bioreactors and Biomolecule Production; 3) Materials for Tissue Engineering; 4) Cell Cultures and Bioreactors and 5) Drug Delivery and Drug Discovery. Within each of these topics the emphasis is on analytical skills and instructors will assume knowledge of chemistry, mass transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and physiology consistent with the Cell and Tissue Engineering Track in BME. In a term project, students must present written and oral reports on a developing or existing application of Cell and Tissue Engineering. The reports must address the technology behind the application, the clinical need and any ethical implications. 4 Credits
-

4.00 Credits
Focuses on interfacial phenomena in hybrid bio-inorganic systems. The goal is to increase the understanding of interactions between biomolecules and surfaces. Aim at investigating the behavior of complex macromolecular systems at material interfaces and the importance of such systems in the fields of biology, biotechnology, diagnostics, and medicine. The first part will focus on mechanisms of interactions between biomolecules and surfaces. The second part on the characterization of physical, chemical, and morphological properties of biointerfaces.
