Principles of Biomedical Engineering
Creating for the future of medicine! This lecture-based course through Colorado State University exposes students to how mechanical engineering, chemical/biological engineering, and electrical engineering principles can be applied to current biomedical challenges. The course also introduces current research efforts at CSU, BME career opportunities, team dynamics, and accessing/reading academic literature - all of which will be valuable as the student progresses through their interest area. Students will also be able to go through the process of solving an engineering problem by designing and building a prototype and then presenting a product concept to various audiences at CSU.
