Sophomore BME Research Project

9 units · Undergraduate

Fall and Spring Research projects for sophomores under the direction of a regular or adjunct BME faculty member. The nature of the project, the number of units, and the criteria for grading are to be determined between the student and the research advisor prior to registering for the course. Students should contact CMU BME faculty members directly to inquire about available research projects and spots. Arrangements may also be made with the department for off-campus projects provided that a regular or adjunct BME faculty member agrees to serve as a co-advisor. The agreement should be summarized in a two-page project description with sign-off by the research advisor and a copy submitted for review and filing with the BME Department via Canvas. A final written report of the results is required. Units may vary according to the expected time commitment, with one unit corresponding to 1 hour of research per week. While students may register for the BME Research Project over multiple semesters, only a total of 9 units of research may be counted as a restricted elective course toward the Biomedical Engineering or Biomedical Technology additional major.
