BMES-5714: Biomedical Microdevices

Description: The goal of this course is to build the foundation necessary for engineering research in micro- and nano- biotechnology. The course will be broken down into four major area: micro- and nano- fabrication techniques, the fundamentals of microfluidics, micro- and nano- particle manipulation, and engineering aspects of cells and their membranes. The culmination of the course will provide students the knowledge required to create biomedical micro- and nano- devices with a focus on the unique physics, biology and design aspects at these scales. Students will be expected to know undergraduate engineering, physics, and calculus. Graduate standing required.
