 Molecular Biology and Micro/Nano Engineering   

MCEN 4228/5228 MCDB 4100-002/6440-002    Enrollment: 51

Instructors: Profs. YC Lee, Conrad Stoldt and Michael Stowell

Objectives: Engineering students will learn molecular biology through lectures and design simulations. MCDB (and most of engineering students) will learn micro/nano-scale engineering through lectures and design simulations.  More importantly, all students will learn synergistic integration of molecular biology and micro/nano-scale engineering through lectures and independent projects.

 Anatomy and physiology for Engineers

MCEN 4228/5228, Enrollment:50

Instructor: Prof. Robin Shandas

Objectives: The course provides a broad introduction to the subject of human anatomy and physiology, centered around learning the subject matter and analyzing functional physiology from an engineering viewpoint. It does not assume any particular background other than senior/grad level standing in engineering, although classes in basic chemistry and biology will make the first few weeks not quite so intense.
