Description: This is the second module of a full year course. The goal is to develop a firm foundation for and a fundamental knowledge of the field of Bioengineering. The course is split into 2 semesters each comprised of several different modules. BIOE 562 (Principles of Bioengineering II) includes systems and signaling, micro-fluidics, nano-optics, miniature optics, microscopy, molecular biology, stem cells, and high through-put screens assays. This course must be taken by all first year graduate students. Both BIOE 561 and 562 must be taken during the same academic year.
