BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
 
 

Case Engineering Core Curriculum


In addition to the major department requirements, each engineering undergraduate degree program includes the Engineering Core. The Engineering Core Curriculum of The Case School of Engineering provides a foundation in mathematics and sciences for programs in engineering and in computer science leading to the Bachelor of Science degree. The Engineering Core Curriculum is also designed to develop communication skills and to provide a body of work in the humanities and social sciences.

Mathematics (14 credits)
MATH 121 Calculus for Science and Engineering I, or equivalent
MATH 122 Calculus for Science and Engineering II, or equivalent
MATH 223 Calculus for Science and Engineering III, or equivalent
MATH 224 Elementary Differential Equations or equivalent or an approved course in Introduction to Dynamic Systems
 
Chemistry (4 credits)
CHEM 111 Principles of Chemistry for Engineers
 
Physics (8 credits)
PHYS 121 General Physics I, or equivalent.
PHYS 122 General Physics II, or equivalent.
 
Engineering (18 credits)
ENGR 131 Elementary Computer Programming
ENGR 145 Chemistry of Materials
ENGR 200 Statics and Strength of Materials
ENGR 210 Introduction to Circuits and Instrumentation
ENGR 225 Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and Heat and Mass Transfers
 
Natural Science, Mathematics, or Statistics Elective (3 credits)
STAT 312 Basic Statistics for Engineering & Science
STAT 313 Statistics for Experimenters
STAT 332 Statistics for Signal Processing
STAT 333 Uncertainty in Engineering & Science
 
English Composition (3 credits)
ENGL 150
To be completed by the end of the first year with a grade of C or higher. Students having transfer credit for an English composition course taken at a US college/university and passed with a C or higher must pass an English Placement Test administered by the Department of English or earn a grade of C or higher in ENGL 180, a one-credit writing tutorial, to meet the graduation requirement in English
 
Humanities & Social Sciences (21 semester hours)*
For students who choose to complete a minor, up to 12 hours of these 21 hours may be used towards fulfilment of the minor requirements.
ENGL 398N Professional Communication for Engineers
3 H/SS ELEC
An approved sequence of 9 hours (three courses) in a single department or program in the humanities or social sciences.
2 HUM ELEC &
2 SS ELEC
A minimum of 6 hours (two courses) in the humanities, and a minimum of 6 hours (two courses) in the social sciences, not including the Professional Communications course.

 

*Note: Studio courses in art and music cannot serve toward the satisfaction of the humanities and social science requirement unless they are part of a sequence. A sequence including such work will normally require more than the four courses that ordinarily serve for this purpose and will require the approval of the sequence adviser in advance.

Two semesters of beginning work in a foreign language may be counted toward satisfaction of the requirement for a three-course sequence only when the sequence consists of three courses taken in a single foreign language. Credit for the first semester of beginning study (101 level) in a foreign language will not serve toward satisfaction of any degree requirement unless credit is earned for the second semester (level 102) as well.
