2019-2020 Undergraduate Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Bioengineering: Bioelectrical Concentration, BS
|
|
|
Program Description
The undergraduate program in Bioengineering is built upon a rigorous engineering science foundation that is, in turn, based upon a broad curriculum of applied and life sciences, mathematics, electives in humanities, social science, and design. Students select a formal focus that concentrates in a subfield of interest in bioengineering: Bioelectrical Concentration or Biomaterials Concentration.
The curriculum provides undergraduates with a solid background in engineering and life sciences in preparation for advanced studies. Through the Bioengineering program, graduates acquire an understanding of biology, biochemistry, and physiology and the capability to apply advanced mathematics, including differential equations and statistics, science, and engineering, to solve the problems at the interface of engineering and biology. Graduates also have an ability to make measurements on and interpret data from living systems, addressing the problems associated with the interaction between living and nonliving materials and systems.
Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s Plan
Bioengineering undergraduates may begin a Master of Science degree program or a Master of Engineering degree program while completing the Bachelor of Science degree and use a limited number of courses to satisfy the requirements of both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Details are available from the Department of Bioengineering.
Freshman Year
First Semester
All General Engineering students take the same classes their first term, regardless of their intended major. Coursework in the second term varies. Students should consult with a General Engineering advisor to determine appropriate courses.
Footnotes
1 ENGR 1070 , ENGR 1080 and ENGR 1090 may be substituted for ENGR 1410
2 Students planning to enter medical school should take CH 2230 /CH 2270 instead of CH 2010 /CH 2020 and take CH 2240 /CH 2280 as an additional course sequence. Students planning to enter medical school should also take physics laboratories as additional courses (PHYS 1220 course wih PHYS 1240 lab and PHYS 2210 course with PHYS 2230 lab).
3 See Policy on Humanities and Social Sciences for Engineering Curricula . Six of these credit hours must also satisfy General Education Cross-Cultural Awareness and Science and Technology in Society Requirements.
4 Select from BIOE 1010 , BIOL 1030 , BIOL 1040 , BIOL 1100 , BIOL 1110
5 Students must take at least six credits from courses with a lecture designation. The other six credits may be selected from courses with the lecture or the non-lecture designation.

Notes:
- To transfer from General Engineering into the Bioengineering degree program, students must have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 in courses taken at Clemson and must have earned a C or better in each course in the General Engineering Core Curriculum.
- A student is allowed to enroll in ECE courses (excluding ECE 2070 , ECE 2080 , ECE 3080 ) only when all prerequisites have been passed with a grade of C or better.
- All Bioelectrical Concentration students must have a cumulative engineering grade-point average of 2.0 to enroll in any 3000- or 4000-level ECE courses.
- No student may exceed a maximum of two attempts, excluding a W, to successfully complete any ECE course.
