Requirements for Math and Science Elective
|
| Approved courses include almost any
200 level or above course having 3 or more credits
in biology, physics, biochemistry, chemistry, or
math. Approved courses include BIOL
205, BIOL 214, BIOL
215, CHEM 223 , CHEM
224 , PHYS 221 ,
and BIOC 307, BIOC
308, and BIOL/EBME
300. Students can consult with their advisor
to use another course not on this list. Understand
that one cannot double count by applying this course
toward another graduation requirement such as a technical
elective in a BME sequence. Please be advised that BIOL
216 , PHYS 204 , PHYS
208 , and PHYS 250 will
probably not be approved because of overlap with
the BME curriculum. |
NOTES
If you are interested in a minor in
the Macromolecular science, it is required that you take EMAC
276, 351, 352, 377,
and 470 in
addition to the Macro courses in the sequences.
1. CHEM
223 can be substituted by CHEM
323.
2. If accepted by the course coordinator,
a semester coop project can be used as a senior project.
3. STAT
312 (eng. & sci) can be substituted by STAT
313 (experimenters), STAT
332 (signal), STAT
333 (uncertainty, spring).
**
Students are expected to take EBME 398 or
EBME 380, but not both. If choosing the
EBME 398 option, students are encouraged
to register for this class in the fall. Students will take EBME 380 in the spring following EBME 370.
