BEE 4590

Capstone Design in Biological Engineering

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2021-2022.

Students will choose a project depending on their interests, and complete the project goal by integrating the knowledge of biology, physics, and engineering. Students will present their proposal and final results, and write a report at the end of the semester.

When Offered Fall.
