BMEG-E 691 Thesis in Biomedical Engineering
1-9 credits
- Prerequisite(s): None
- Delivery: On-Campus
Description
This course enables students to apply advanced biomedical engineering skills to a thesis. Students design, develop, and test solutions to real-world problems, culminating in a report and presentation. Theses may involve industry collaboration or faculty mentorship, emphasizing research and innovation.
Learning Outcomes
- Evaluate the literature critically, interpreting biomedical engineering contributions, deficiencies, and theories for the thesis or project research problem, aims, questions or hypotheses, and methods.
- Assess the research designs of published research articles in biomedical engineering.
- Formulate specific research aims, questions, or hypotheses within a topic area of biomedical engineering.
- Determine appropriate research methods to answer particular research questions, test hypotheses, or evaluate algorithms or systems.
- Analyze data using appropriate quantitative methods.
- Critique peers’ research designs and provide generative feedback.
- Design, develop, and write a research proposal and defend it before a research committee.
- Execute the research proposal, developing a system and/or collecting data, based on the research plan, and abiding by ethical standards for conducting research.
- Write a thesis or project report and defend it before a research committee.
