BIOE 6000Principles of Bioengineering1

Covers the fundamentals of bioengineering research topics and methodology for master’s-level bioengineering students. Internal and external speakers discuss general topics in bioengineering, including the medical device qualification and regulatory environment, tissue engineering, cell engineering, mechanobiology, drug delivery, bioimaging, neuromotor control, and effective design of experiments. Each student is expected to read, critically evaluate, and present research in a peer-reviewed bioengineering journal article.

BIOE 6100Medical Physiology4

Designed to provide bioengineering students with a working knowledge of the integrated behavior of organs and systems in the human body. As such, the student is provided with a comprehensive and intense immersion in each physiological subsystem with the expectation that he or she display knowledge of each at the level equivalent to that of a second-year medical student following his or her exposure to physiology. The specific subsystems covered are muscle physiology, cardiovascular physiology with ECG interpretation, pulmonary physiology with gas exchange mechanics and ventilation/perfusion, renal physiology and water balance, regulation of pH, gastrointestinal physiology, temperature regulation and energy balance, endocrine systems, and reproductive systems. The course does not cover neurophysiology.

BIOE 7000Principles of Bioengineering4

Designed to introduce new graduate bioengineering students to the fundamentals of bioengineering research topics and methodology. Includes outside speakers to discuss general topics in bioengineering. Examples of course topics include the medical device qualification and regulatory environment, tissue engineering, cell engineering, mechanobiology, drug delivery, bioimaging, neuromotor control, effective design of experiments, writing research proposals for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and how to evaluate and write a peer-reviewed journal article, etc. Expects students to read, critically evaluate, and present the research in a bioengineering journal article. Students are then expected to extend their article into a hypothesis-driven proposal in NIH format with an oral defense of the proposal.

BIOE 7210A Data Science Toolkit for Human Neuroscience Research4

Introduces fundamental programming, statistics, and machine learning methods that underlie modern human neuroscience research. Emphasizes understanding how linear models form the building blocks for a wide range of commonly used methods, as well as application of these methods through standard scientific computing libraries. With hands-on learning, students use R and Python to work through projects tailored to real-world neuroimaging applications (e.g., fMRI, EEG). Applies basic statistical and machine learning analysis procedures for human neuroscience research with R and Python to understand fundamental considerations underlying their application.

BIOE 7391Student Seminar0

Offers students an opportunity to practice clear and concise oral communication of research to an audience of people with a variety of skills and differing expertise. This is an essential skill for anyone seeking a career in scientific research and beyond. It differs from communicating research to a group meeting or a conference presentation, which is comprised of audiences of fellow specialists who are already familiar with the field and its specialized terminology. Students instead present to a diverse, interdisciplinary group of peers (i.e., the Department of Bioengineering and other members of the Northeastern community). Maybe be repeated once.
