BIOE 321 CELLULAR ENGINEERING Credits 3.00 Fall 00
Introduction to engineering principles and modeling at the cellular level.
Topics include receptor/ligand binding, genetic engineering, enzyme kinetics,
and metabolic pathway engineering.
Prereq- BIOE 252 or permission of instructor.
001 ML 254 - MWF 10:00AM - 10:50AM Athanasiou, Kyriacos Enr: Max: NA
McIntire, Larry V.
San, Ka-yiu
BIOE 381 FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY Credits 3.00 Fall 00
Introduction to the electrophysiology of the cell membrane. Development of
mathematical models of different types of ionic membrane currents and fluid
compartment models, culminating in the development of functional whole-cell
models for neurons and muscle (cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle) cells.
Characterization of volume conductor boundary value problems encountered in
electrophysiology consisting of the adequate description of the bioelectric
current source and the volume conductor (surrounding tissue) medium. This
provides a basis for the interpretation of macroscopic bioelectric signals such
as the electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG) and electroencephalogram
(EEG). Prereq- consent of instructor. Also offered as Elec 381.
001 AL B209 - TBA Clark, John W. Enr: 3 Max: NA
BIOE 391 FUNDAMENTALS OF MEDICAL IMAGING I Credits 3.00 Fall 00
The course will introduce the fundamentals of various medical imaging
modalities (such as x-ray, CT, and MRI) used to identify the anatomy of human
organs, as well as other modalities (such as PET, SPECT, fMRI, and MEG)
specifically developed to identify the function of the brain.
Prereq- MATH 211 and MATH 212
001 TBA - TBA Anvari, Bahman Enr: Max: NA
Zouridakis, George
BIOE 400 UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH Credits Fall 00
No description
001 TBA - TBA Staff Enr: 2 Max: NA
BIOE 420 BIOSYSTEMS TRANSPORT AND REACTION PROCES Credits 3.00 Fall 00
Application of the basic principles of transport and reaction to analyze
momentum, heat, mass transport, and reaction processes in the human body.
Includes mathematical modeling to describe physiologic function, to understand
pathological, conditions, and to design bioartificial organs, mechanisms, and
cellular behavior. Also offered as Ceng 420.
Prereq- Math 211, 212.
001 DH 1064 - TTH 08:00AM - 09:15AM Mikos, Antonios G. Enr: 24 Max: NA
BIOE 481 COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE Credits 3.00 Fall 00
Introduction to the nervous system is given including the electrophysiology of
nerve and muscle cells, synaptic transmission and sense receptors. The theory
underlying Hodgkin-Huxley type models of excitable cells is discussed and
several examples of models for neurons, muscle cells and synapses are used as
case studies. Modeled neurons are interconnected using synaptic models to form
functional representations of small neural networks. At all levels comparisons
are made with experimental data. Course provides an introduction to biological
modeling and computation. Also offered as Elec 481.
Prereq- permission of instructor.

BIOE 531 BIOMATERIALS ENGINEERING Credits 3.00 Fall 00
Emphasis will be placed on issues regarding design and synthesis of materials
to achieve specific properties. An overview of significant biomaterials
application will be given, including topics such as opthalmic biomaterials,
orthopedic applications, cardiovascular biomaterials, and drug delivery
systems. Regulatory issues concerning biomaterials will also be addressed.
Prereq- Organic Chemistry and Biology.
001 KH 107 - MW 03:30PM - 04:45PM West, Jennifer Lucille Enr: 8 Max: NA

lasers and biological tissues. Optically based diagnostic procedures,
including low-coherence tomography and photothermal techniques, will be
introduced. Mathematical models of light propagation, methods of optical
properties measurements, optical trapping, and selected therapeutic
applications of lasers will be addressed. Prereq- Differential Equations and
