3. Computers and Programming
     a. BME 120 Programming Fundamentals in Biomedical Engineering


4. Engineering
     a. MEC 203 Engineering Drawing and CAD II
     b. MEC 260 Engineering Statics
     c. MEC 262 Engineering Dynamics
     d. ESE 271 Electrical Circuit Analysis I


5. Biomedical Engineering
     a. BME 100 Introduction to Biomedical Engineering
     b. BME 212 Laboratory Methods in Biomedical Engineering
     c. BME 301 Bioelectricity
     d. BME 304 Genetic Engineering
     e. BME 305 Biofluids
     f. BME 440 Biomedical Engineering Design
     g. BME 441 Senior Design Project in Bioengineering


6. Biomedical Engineering Specializations and Technical Electives
     Biomedical engineering students must complete a specialization, composed of at least 30 credits in one of four areas, including at least two 3-
to 4-credit design technical elective courses. Three technical elective courses must be 300- or 400-level BME courses (not BME 499). BME
499 may be taken as an additional technical elective for a total of 6 credits.(See below for the four specializations with course options.) The
specialization must be declared in writing by the end of the sophomore year and is selected in consultation with the faculty advisor to ensure a
cohesive curriculum with depth at the upper level.


7. Upper-Division Writing Requirement: BME 300 Writing in Biomedical Engineering
     All degree candidates must demonstrate skill in written English at a level acceptable for engineering majors. All Biomedical Engineering students
must complete the writing course BME 300 concurrently with a selected BME 300- or 400-level course. The quality of writing in technical
reports submitted for the course is evaluated, and students whose writing does not meet the required standard are referred for remedial help. Satisfactory writing warrants an S grade for BME 300, thereby satisfying the requirement.


(Additional Requirements for Pre-Medical or Pre-Dental Students)
     Seven additional credits are required for the pre-professional students beyond the B.E. in BME degree. These are CHE 133, CHE 134, BIO 203,
and BIO 205. It is recommended that CHE 133 is taken during the Freshman Spring, CHE 134 taken during Sophomore Spring, and BIO 203/
BIO 205 taken during Junior Spring.
