RE: New Undergraduate-Level Course

The faculty of the Department of Biomedical Engineering has approved the following new course. This action is now submitted to the Engineering Faculty with a recommendation for approval.

Course to be added:

BME 495 Selected Topics in Biomedical Engineering

Sem. 1 and 2. SS. Cr. 1-4. (May be repeated for credit.)

Prerequisite: consent of instructor.

Specialized topic areas for which there are no specific courses, workshops, or individual study plans, but having sufficient student interest to justify the formalized teaching of a course.

Reason: The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) has recently formed an undergraduate program designed to coordinate the training of B.S. level students in this field. This course addition is made to accommodate new course material of current interest to senior level students in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and in other departments and schools with biomedical engineering or related interests.
