With lab. Introduction to various measurements used in civil engineering. Topics include basic surveying principles involving linear and angular measurement, leveling, traversing, and stadia. Also, smaller scale measurements, such as displacemnt and load. Includes precision instruments such as verniers, calipers, micrometers and load cells. Prerequisite: MATH 131.

This course is an introduction to Catalan for students with no prior knowledge of the language. Through a task-based, communicative approach, this course seeks to initiate students into the elements of reading, writing, listening, and speaking in Catalan.

This seminar series is a 1-credit class, open to graduate students in the BME program. Students enrolled in the seminar are expected to attend the BME Seminar Series and/or present at and attend the BME Graduate seminar series. Seminar speakers are chosen each semester by the BME faculty for their relevance to topics in biomedical engineering.

An introduction to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

This course covers basic concepts in electromagnetism and light-matter interactions of biomedical significance. Topics covered include: optical properties of biological cells, tissues and biomaterials; visible and near-infrared light absorption, scattering and fluorescence spectroscopy; advanced microscopy techniques, optical coherence tomography, vibrational spectroscopy, photoacoustic imaging, photodynamic therapy and their relevance to human disease diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
