Stanley and Karen Pigman College of Engineering

Credit(s): 3

This is an elective course for undergraduate students who are interested in learning nano-scale engineering and its applications in biology and medicine. The course covers a broad range of topics in nanobioengineering and nanomedicine, including basic nanoscale phenomena, principles of nanosynthesis, the interactions between nanoparticles and the biological systems including cellular uptake, in vivo pharmacokinetics and nanotoxicity, and the applications of nanotechnology in disease detection and treatment. The course will help develop critical reading, scientific writing, and oral presentation skills. Problem-based learning (PBL) will be incorporated throughout the course.

Prereq: Engineering Standing, PGY 206 or consent of instructor.
