By the end of this course, successful students will:
• Apply knowledge of biological and physical sciences, mathematics, and engineering to solve problems at the interface of engineering and biology.
• Design a Biomedical Engineering system, component, and/or process that meets specific needs; and demonstrate understanding of relevant technical, professional, and ethical issues.
• Function on multi-disciplinary teams.
• Communicate effectively in verbal, written, and graphical formats.
• Identify, formulate, and solve Biomedical Engineering problems that address contemporary issues within a global, societal, and economic context.

Course Policies
• Attendance: Attendance at lectures is critical for your mastery of the subject material. Students are responsible for any changes announced in class.
• Homework: Homework is due at the beginning of class on the day specified in class. Homework turned in after the deadline is 50% off. Solutions to the homework will be posted on the class web page shortly after the due date such that homework that is more than 24 hours late will not be accepted. Homework should be prepared on individual paper sheets. Illegible papers will not be graded. Solutions to all problems must include adequate steps, and explanations where necessary, for the grader to understand how you arrived at an answer. Just an equation and a final answer will not be acceptable. Graded problem sets will generally be returned within two lecture periods. Each homework set will be equally weighted in the computation of the final course grade, and the lowest homework score will be dropped.
• Projects: The final typed project report is due at the beginning of class on the day specified in class. Late submissions will be penalized 20% for each day and will not be accepted after one week. More details on the requirements will be distributed in class.

Grading Policies
Grades for problems on homework and exams will take into account the following:
• Participation – honor system
• Accurately defining the problem – drawing a correct schematic/interpretation of the system
• Setting up the problem – making accurate assumptions, defining the correct equations, adequately explaining all steps required to reach a solution, justifying your approach
• Correctness and completeness – making accurate calculations, using correct conversions, using appropriate physical properties, identifying sources of information, accurately interpreting data from tables, carrying solution to completion, using correct significant figures
• Neatness, organization (logical flow), and boxing final solutions
• Conceptual errors are weighted more heavily than simple mathematical (calculation) errors. For example, not knowing the area of a circle is considered a conceptual error.

Grading Disputes
• For homework disputes, see the TA first. For exam disputes, see Dr. Kim.
• Grades will not be discussed after one week from the date the assignment is returned.
• Exams: There will be two midterms and one final exams. The exams will be closed book and closed notes. Review sessions for the exams will either be held in class or during recitation prior to the exam.
• Requests for re-grading must be presented to the professor within 1 week after the graded exam has been returned.
• Final Exam: The final exam will be the same format as the other exams. Registration for this course includes the university-scheduled final exam date. The date and time of the exam is set by the university and cannot be changed, and there will be no make-up for the final exam. Students must take the final exam.
• Missed Midterm Exam: No make-up exams will be given. If he or she has a valid reason (usually, medical or a required school function) to miss the midterm exam, the professor is notified before the exam is missed.

Academic Integrity
No tolerance for the academic misconduct.

Course Format & Activities:
• The textbook provides an introduction to biomedical engineering applications. In addition, copies of chapters from other texts or journal articles may be distributed to supplement the textbook material.
• A final written project report will be required from each team and one grade will be given for the report. In addition, each team will make an oral and poster presentation to the class (details of the report and grading criteria will be provided later).
• One essay project (technical writing and editing) will be given.
• Guest speakers may be invited to present their expertise and perspectives on BME.
• Homework assignments will provide practice at applying the concepts covered in lecture. Group discussion of the homework (but not copying) is encouraged. It is important for that each student knows how to independently work the problems on his/her own.
• Two midterms and one final exam will test both retention of concepts and facts, and the ability to apply problem solving skills. Material tested will be from the readings, homework, lectures, and projects.
• K-MOOC: The students must take the K-MOOC before each class.
