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.
June 14-25, 2021* Mammalian Cell & Tissue Culture (MCTC)
June 21-25, 2021* BioImaging & 3D-Printing (BI3DP)
June 28-July 2, 2021* BioMechanics & MechanoBiology (BMMB)
* full time: M-F 9a-12p & 1p-4p
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.
July 12-Aug 6, 2021# BioEngineering Introduction to Research
# half time: M,W,F 12n-1p; Tu,Th 9a-12n; ~6hr/wk homework
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.
Sep 27 – Nov 15, 2021 BioEngineering Research Project A – Proposal (BERP-A)
Jan 10 – Mar 7, 2022 BioEngineering Research Project B – Research (BERP-B)
