Section 510: Design in Reverse: Dissecting Modern Medical Devices

Biomedical engineers envision, design, re-design, and test devices on the bleeding edge of medical technology; devices that improve and even revolutionize the treatment, diagnosis, and monitoring of the most important health challenges facing humanity today. This section of ENGR 100 is built to give you the opportunity to learn about and experience this process hands-on with real medical devices.

Section 350: Engineering Biological Solutions

Section 350: Engineering Biological Solutions

This section of Engineering 100 introduces fundamental concepts of bioengineering, biotechnology, and chemical engineering, and provides students an understanding of how biological systems can be engineered to solve real-world problems such as the need for renewable energy and affordable medicine.

Section 580: Bio-inspired Design

Section 580: Bio-inspired Design

Bioinspired design views the process of how we learn from nature as an innovation strategy translating principles of function, performance, and aesthetics from biology to human technology. The creative design process is driven by interdisciplinary exchange among engineering, biology, medicine, art, architecture and business.

Section 520: Engineering Wellness: Technologies to Support Physical and Mental Health

When developing new technologies, engineers must carefully consider the impact their decisions may have on individual stakeholders and on society as a whole. In this course, you will learn a variety of prototyping methods within the context of a socially-engaged design process. You will then apply these skills to address a real-world problem in the field of public transportation.

Section 900: DiY Geiger Muller Counter

Expect the unexpected! Radiation is invisible and everywhere: some is natural (radon gas) and some is artificial (nuclear power). Radiation can be useful (diagnosing and curing disease) and dangerous. You will learn how to approach technical problems that affect human safety by triangulating various data, designing unique approaches to radiation risks, and pivoting in the face of unexpected circumstances and results
