White Background with Triangle Pattern

Course Descriptions

The biology program will produce biologists with the chemistry, mathematics, and physics background needed to solve biotechnological problems in the coming decades. Those students wishing to strengthen their engineering skills can earn the area minor in biomedical engineering.

BIO 351 - Synthetic Biology Design

  • Credit Hours: 2R-0L-2C
  • Term Available: S
  • Graduate Studies Eligible: No
  • Prerequisites: BIO 350
  • Corequisites: None

Open to all majors. This course focuses on the design of novel biological parts, devices and systems, and their use in engineering cell function. Bioengineering principles and the design of genetic logic circuits, memory modules, biosensors and other cellular devices will be addressed. For the final project, students will design a novel biological system that meets the standards and goals of the International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition.
