| BIOEN 509 A, B: Bioengineering Departmental Seminar
Winter & Spring 2010
Location: Bioengineering Seminar Room, William H Foege Building N130
Time: Thursday 12:30 - 1:20 pm
Email contact: bioetalk@u.washington.edu Course Overview:
This seminar course reviews research on approaches to solving scientific problems related to bioengineering. Lectures will be from faculty in UW Bioengineering and from other departments as well as faculty from other institutions. Open discussion of problems is desired.
This course allows students to attend lectures in person, or watch streaming video of the lectures online. Students who are unable to attend the lectures in person are required to watch streaming video of the lectures and to submit one 1-page summary paper per lecture missed in person.
Learning Objectives: (1) To learn qualitative and quantitative approaches to resolving theoretical and practical problems in scientific research. (2) To develop an understanding of how engineering design and analysis contributes to progress in improving human heath and well-being worldwide while improving the environment.
