Footnotes
1 Recommended: CHEM 1620 or MSE 2090. Chosen from: BIOL 2101, BIOL 2102, CHEM 1620, ECE 2066, & MSE 2090.
2 Chosen from the approved list available in A122 Thornton Hall.
3 Chosen from any graded course in the University except mathematics courses below MATH 1310 and courses that substantially duplicate any others offered for the degree, including PHYS 2010, 2020; CS 1010, 1020; or any intro programming course. APMA 1090 counts as a 3-credit unrestricted elective.
4 2000-level or higher engineering courses in a single area of concentration. One course is usually, but not always, a prerequisite for the other. A list of suggested course sequences is available in MR5 2010 (BME main office)
5 Chosen from any 2000-level or higher science, math, or engineering course, unless it is a course for non-science majors, it duplicates required BME class work, or it is a “research-for-credit” or “capstone design” course.
6 Chosen from any 300-level or higher BME elective, except BME 4311. Only 3 credits of BME 4995 will count as either a BME or Bioengineering elective.
7 Chosen from an approved list of engineering electives, 3000-level or higher, with a substantial bioengineering component. Typically chosen from CHE 3347, CHE 4448, ECE 5750 or any 3000-level or higher BME elective.
