BE-BOAT: BioEngineering - Broad Overview And Techniques. BE-BOAT courses provide a broad overview of Bioengineering and introduce core techniques in a particular sub-discipline of Bioengineering.

Session 1: BioMechanics & MechanoBiology (BMMB)

Sept 28 - Nov 20, 2020

Session 2: Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine (TERM)

Sept 28 - Nov 20, 2020 

Session 3: BioImaging & 3D-Printing (BI3DP) 

Jan 11 – Mar 14, 2021

 

BE-ROW: BioEngineering Research Orientation Workshop. BE-ROW provides an introduction to research through a guided team project. A BE-BOAT course is a prerequisite for BE-ROW.

Session 1: Introduction to Bioengineering Research (BEI2R)

Sept 28 - Nov 20, 2020, Jan 11 - Mar 12, 2021, or Mar 29 – May 21, 2021

 

BE-SHIP: BioEngineering - Scholar High School Internship Program. BE-SHIP is a research internship program, where students collaborate with a Bioengineering research lab to propose (BERP-A) in an initial quarter, and conduct (BERP-B) in the subsequent quarter, a BioEngineering Design or Science project. The Fall BERP-A + Winter BERP-B sequence can be the basis of an entry to a High School Science and Engineering Fair. A BE-ROW course is generally a pre-requisite for BE-SHIP.

Session 1:  BioEngineering Research Project A – Proposal (BERP-A)

Sept 28 - Nov 20, 2020, Oct 26 - Dec 18, 2020 or Jan 11 - Mar 12, 2021

Session 2: BioEngineering Research Project B – Research (BERP-B)
Jan 11 – Mar 12, 2021, Mar 29 - May 21, 2021, or Summer 2021
