3.00 Credits
Senior-level practicum. Students are placed in medical research laboratories to learn the requirements of off-campus biomedical engineering research (such as research laboratories, clinical engineering facilities, or biomedical device industries). Involvement with daily activities under the direction of a faculty member and external mentor is expected. Students are expected to keep a daily log of activities and write a final report on their efforts. Prerequisite: Senior standing or permission of instructor. Required of all undergraduate biomedical engineering students.

3.00 Credits
Senior-level research. Students are placed in medical research laboratories to achieve a research goal under the co-direction of the faculty advisor and the director of the research laboratory. The specific research project will be determined during consultation of the student with the faculty and research advisor. Students are expected to keep a daily log of activities and write a final report on their efforts. The final report will be of a style suitable for journal publication. Prerequisite: Senior standing or permission of instructor. Required of all biomedical engineering students.
-
3.00 Credits
Paid work experience in a biological industry under supervision of the biology faculty. Regular reports and the completion of the goals set by a learning contract are required. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing (see departmental description above).
-
4.00 Credits
BIO 110 considers the following topics in a broad, general survey for the nonmajor: the cellular nature and energy requirements of plants and animals; evolution; genetics; species interaction; ecology. BIO 111 emphasizes the relationship between structure and function of all the systems of the human body. The laboratory is correlated with the lecture. Credit toward a biology major or minor by permission only. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to plant and animal biology that focuses on four specific aspects of evolution biochemical, physiological, cytological, and ecological presented during two semesters. Each area is presented through small- group, intensive laboratory units employing modern research techniques. Formal lectures unify laboratory experiences. Prerequisite: Minimum of one year of high school chemistry. Corequisite: Either CH 110 and 111, or CH 114 and 136. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
An exploration of various topics in biology selected to emphasize science as a way of knowing. Laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the physiological bases of behavior in normal psychological functioning. Topics include neuron structure and function, functional neuroanatomy, drugs and behavior, and the physiology of hunger, sex, sleep, emotion, reward/punishment, language, and learning and memory. Prerequisites: PSY 101 or 102, and BIO 110 or 111.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of human tissues and organ systems. BIO 212: muscular, skeletal, nervous, and endocrine systems; skin and special senses. BIO 213: circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems; blood and metabolism. Laboratory dissection and physiology experimentation are coordinated with lecture material. This course is for health science students and it is recommended that they be taken in order. Prerequisites or corequisites: CH 114 and 136, or CH 110-111. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the study of ecosystems, including physical, chemical, and biological components. Emphasis on bioenergetics, succession, distribution of organisms, population dynamics, and speciation. Laboratory studies include use of the major techniques of field and laboratory research in ecology. Prerequisites: BIO 122 and BIO 123, or equivalent. (Writing-intensive course)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the gene, its structure, control, and role in determining the chemical and physical characteristics of cells and individuals. Analysis of Mendelian ratios and chromosome maps. Prerequisites: CH 230, or CH 114 and 136. (Writing-intensive course)
