BIOE 32Q: Bon Appétit, Marie Curie! The Science Behind Haute Cuisine

This seminar is for anyone who loves food, cooking or science! We will focus on the science and biology behind the techniques and the taste buds. Not a single lecture will pass by without a delicious opportunity - each weekly meeting will include not only lecture, but also a lab demonstration and a chance to prepare classic dishes that illustrate that day's scientific concepts.

BIOE 42: Physical Biology

BIOE 42 is designed to introduce students to general engineering principles that have emerged from theory and experiments in biology. Topics covered will cover the scales from molecules to cells to organisms, including fundamental principles of entropy, diffusion, and continuum mechanics. These topics will link to several biological questions, including DNA organization, ligand binding, cytoskeletal mechanics, and the electromagnetic origin of nerve impulses. In all cases, students will learn to develop toy models that can explain quantitative measurements of the function of biological systems. Prerequisites: MATH 19, 20, 21 CHEM 31A, B (or 31X), PHYSICS 41; strongly recommended: CS 106A, CME 100 or MATH 51, and CME 106; or instructor approval.

BIOE 44: Fundamentals for Engineering Biology Lab

An introduction to techniques in genetic, molecular, biochemical, cellular and tissue engineering. Lectures cover advances in the field of synthetic biology with emphasis on genetic engineering, plasmid design, gene synthesis, genetic circuits, and safety and bioethics. Lab modules will teach students how to conduct basic lab techniques, add/remove DNA from living matter, and engineer prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Team projects will support practice in component engineering with a focus on molecular design and quantitative analysis of experiments, device and system engineering using abstracted genetically encoded objects, and product development. Concurrent or previous enrollment in BIO 82 or BIO 83. Preference to declared BioE students. Students who have not declared BioE should email Alex Engel to get on a waitlist for a permission code to enroll. Class meets in Shriram 112, lab meets in Shriram 114. Scientific Method and Analysis (SMA).

BIOE 51: Anatomy for Bioengineers

Fundamental human anatomy, spanning major body systems and tissues including nerve, muscle, bone, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and renal systems. Explore intricacies of structure and function, and how various body parts come together to form a coherent and adaptable living being. Correlate clinical conditions and therapeutic interventions. This course consists of a lecture and a lab component - both are required. All lectures are online asynchronous modules. Labs are in-person. Students must enroll in lecture and lab. For lab, students need to select their preferred Section.

BIOE 60: Scalable and Distributed Digital Health

The combination of the internet, phones/wearables, and diagnostic/generative AI allow fundamentally different approaches to healthcare to be conceived. Contemporary healthcare still relies heavily on human doctors, which restricts the number of people that can be helped, limits scaling and quality, and sets a basic cost floor on services. The purpose of this seminar is to explore a potential all-digital tech stack for healthcare, including diagnostic AI, data collection at the edge, and privacy-preserving compute. We will hear from industry experts and startup founders, and consider technical gaps as well as legal/societal barriers to ubiquitous adoption of healthcare provided primarily by computers.

BIOE 70Q: Medical Device Innovation

BIOE 70Q invites students to apply design thinking to the creation of healthcare technologies. Students will learn about the variety of factors that shape healthcare innovation, and through hands-on design projects, invent their own solutions to clinical needs. Guest instructors will include engineers, doctors, entrepreneurs, and others who have helped bring ideas from concept to clinical use.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3 | UG Reqs: WAY-CE

BIOE 72N: Pathophysiology and Design for Cardiovascular Disease

Future physicians, social and biological scientists, and engineers will be the core of teams that solve major problems threatening human health. Bridging these diverse areas will require thinkers who can understand human biology and also think broadly about approaching such challenges. Focusing on heart disease, students in this seminar will learn about the multi-factorial problems leading to the leading cause of death in the U.S., along with how to apply design thinking to innovate in the context of healthcare.

BIOE 80: Introduction to Bioengineering (Engineering Living Matter) (ENGR 80)

Students completing BIOE 80 should have a working understanding for how to approach the systematic engineering of living systems to benefit all people and the planet. Our main goals are (1) to help students learn ways of thinking about engineering living matter and (2) to empower students to explore the broader ramifications of engineering life. Specific concepts and skills covered include but are not limited to: capacities of natural life on Earth; scope of the existing human-directed bioeconomy; deconstructing complicated problems; reaction & diffusion systems; microbial human anatomy; conceptualizing the engineering of biology; how atoms can be organized to make molecules; how to print DNA from scratch; programming genetic sensors, logic, & actuators; biology beyond molecules (photons, electrons, etc.); constraints limiting what life can do; and possible health challenges in 2030. And we explore questions like, how does what we want shape bioengineering, and who should choose and realize various competing bioengineering futures?
