BMEN E3830y Biomedical engineering
laboratory, III
Lab: 4. 3 pts. Professor Konofagou.
Experimental design. Cell adhesion, membrane
transport, osmosis, ultrasound, design of cell
encapsulation and drug delivery system, respiratory
impedance. Selected clinical demonstrations:
body compositions, magnetic resonance imaging,
echocardiography, blood pressure.
BMEN E3910x-E3920y Biomedical engineering
design, I and II
Lect: 1. Lab: 3. 4 pts. Professors Hillman and
Vunjak-Novakovic.
A two-semester design sequence to be taken in
the senior year. Elements of the design process,
with specific applications to biomedical engineering:
concept formulation, systems synthesis,
design analysis, optimization, biocompatibility,
impact on patient health and comfort, health care
costs, regulatory issues, and medical ethics.
Selection and execution of a project involving the
design of an actual engineering device or system.
Introduction to entrepreneurship, biomedical startups,
and venture capital. Semester I: statistical
analysis of detection/classification systems (receiver
operating characteristic analysis, logistic regression),
development of design prototype, need,
approach, benefits and competition analysis.
Semester II: spiral develop process and testing,
iteration and refinement of the initial design/prototype
and business plan development. A laboratory
fee of $100 is collected each semester.
BMEN E3998x or y, or s Projects in biomedical
engineering
Hours to be arranged. 1 to 3 pts. Professors

Hillman, Homma, Huang, Hung, Jacobs, Kam,
Konofagou, Laine, Leonard, H. H. Lu, Mao, Morrison,
Mow, Sajda, Sheetz, Sia, and Vunjak-Novakovic.
Independent projects involving experimental, theoretical,
computational, or engineering design
work. May be repeated, but no more than 3 points
may be counted toward degree requirements as
engineering technical electives.
BMEN E4000x or y Special topics
Lect: 3. 3 pts. Instructor to be announced.
Additional current topics in biomedical engineering
taught by regular or visiting faculty. The same subject
matter is not usually considered in different years.
