BME 123 Home Page
New Catalog Description
First of a two-course sequence that is the culmination of the
engineering program. Students apply knowledge and skills gained in
elective track to complete a major design project. Students complete
research, specification, planning, and procurement for a substantial
project. Includes technical discussions, design reviews, and formal
presentations; engineering design cycle, engineering teams, and
professional practices. Formal technical specification of the approved
project is presented to faculty. Prerequisite(s): Electrical
Engineering 171 or Computer Engineering 121; previous or concurrent
enrollment in Computer Engineering 185; permission of department and
instructor. Students are billed a materials fee. (Also offered as
Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering 123A. Students cannot
receive credit for both courses.)
Prerequisites
- BME 140 or 150
- CMPE 185 (tech writing)
This course is a capstone class, inteded for students in their last
year of the bioengineering degree program.
Students wishing to do research or design projects earlier should
sign up for independent study with a faculty member, rather than
this course.
Scheduling
Students should take BME123A in the fall, BME123B in the winter, and
(in many cases) an independent study in the spring, to finish projects.
BME 123A will not be offered in the winter.
