2012 - 2013 Version 1.3

These courses have been pre-approved as professional or technical breadth electives. To be approved as technical or professional electives courses must be substantial and reasonably expected to be useful in biomedical engineering practice. Science, math and engineering courses typically qualify as technical breadth electives, while all other courses are typically professional electives. BE specific elective courses may be taught periodically based on student interest and faculty availability. Students may ask the program director add additional courses to this list, but must do so before taking the course.
