BIOE 131: Ethics in Bioengineering (ETHICSOC 131X)

Bioengineering focuses on the development and application of new technologies in the biology and medicine. These technologies often have powerful effects on living systems at the microscopic and macroscopic level. They can provide great benefit to society, but they also can be used in dangerous or damaging ways. These effects may be positive or negative, and so it is critical that bioengineers understand the basic principles of ethics when thinking about how the technologies they develop can and should be applied. On a personal level, every bioengineer should understand the basic principles of ethical behavior in the professional setting. This course will involve substantial writing, and will use case-study methodology to introduce both societal and personal ethical principles, with a focus on practical applications

BIOE 395: Problem choice and decision trees in science and engineering

Science and engineering researchers often spend days choosing a problem and years solving it. However, the problem initially chosen and subsequent course adjustments made along the project's decision tree, have an outsize influence on its likelihood of success and ultimate impact. This course will establish a framework for choosing problems and navigating a project's decision tree, emphasizing the role of intuition-building exercises and a stepwise analysis of assumptions. No prior knowledge is required.

BIOE 396: BioEntrepreneurship Bootcamp

Launching a company and navigating the complexities of the startup ecosystem can be challenging. This is particularly true in life sciences (e.g., biotech, diagnostics, tools, medtech, synthetic biology, agriculture), where technical risks are compounded with market, regulatory, and financing risks. In this seminar series, we explore the foundational principles behind starting, financing, and building successful startups, with an emphasis on academic spinouts leveraging bioengineering technologies. Guest speakers include experienced entrepreneurs, venture capital investors, senior executives from industry, as well as legal counsel and IP licensing professionals. The series will provide students with the fundamentals required to start conceptualizing their startup idea, ample networking opportunities, and will culminate in a fireside chat with recent PhD/MS graduates who have launched biotech startups. This course is open to MS/PhD/MD/JD/MBA students only. This class has a capacity limit and students must apply to be admitted. The application can be accessed via: https://forms.gle/fu62vHYkVaCNP1hK7
