Fall Semester Scheduling

Course Descriptions:
BME 101 Introduction to Biomedical Engineering:

"An introductory overview of the multidisciplinary field of biomedical engineering. Application of elementary engineering principles to the analysis of physiological systems. Includes basic introduction to the use of computers as tools for solving engineering problems. Course topics include biomechanics, cell and tissue engineering, biosignals and bio-instrumentation, medical imaging, medical optics, and bioethics[sic!]. Includes some guest lectures by biomedical engineering faculty"

ECE 111 Introduction to Signals and Circuits:

"Analysis techniques for DC and AC circuits"

MTH 235 Linear Algebra:

"Finite-dimensional vector spaces over R and C axiomatically and with coordinate calculations. Forms, linear transformations, matrices, eigenspaces"

BIO 112 Biology Perspectives I:

"The first semester of a two-course introductory sequence for students with a strong background in science. Topics include biochemistry, molecular and cellular evolution, cell reproduction, fundamentals of genetics, and molecular biology. This course differs from BIO 110 in that there is greater emphasis on experimental approaches, data analysis, and quantitative methods, and may include reading original papers. A significant writing component includes preparation of a book review (from selected titles, such as The Selfish Gene). Note, both BIO 110 and BIO 112 are designed to prepare students who intend to major in biology."

CHM 203 Organic Chemistry I:

"An introduction to organic chemistry that focuses on chemical bonding, structure and stereochemistry, reactions and reaction mechanisms of organic compounds."

CHM 207 Organic Chemistry I Laboratory:

"One lab lecture and lab session per week provide an introduction to the characterization and reactivity of organic molecules. The course provides an introduction to modern laboratory techniques used in organic chemistry."

BCS 110 Neural Foundations of Behavio(u)r:

"Introduces the structure and organization of the brain, and its role in perception, movement, thinking, and other behavio[u]r. Topics include the brain as a special kind of computer [ed: That could end badly], localization of function, effects of brain damage and disorders, differences between human and animal brains, sex differences, perception and control of movement, sleep, regulation of body stages and emotions, and development and aging."

BCS 111 Foundations of Cognitive Science:

"Introduces the organization of mental processes underlying cognition and behavio[u]r. Topics include perception, language processing, learning, and memory. Integrates knowledge of cognition generated from the fields of cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, and philosophy [ed: that probably will end badly]."

If I get this schedule, I'll be in science-nerd Valhalla. Keep your fingers crossed!
