BAS MAJORS
The Bachelor of Applied Science
degree offers students breadth and allows them to
combine a technology-based degree with considerable
course work in the liberal arts. It is designed
primarily for students whose interests are not oriented
toward a professional engineering career. The BAS
degree requires a minimum of 40 course units.
Biomedical Science
The Bachelor of Applied Science
(BAS) degree in Biomedical Science is offered by the
Bioengineering Department. It provides the scholarship
of an undergraduate technology degree with a broader
focus than its more engineering-intensive equivalent
BSE degree in Bioengineering.
Bioengineering is a field in
which engineering principles of analysis & design
are used to solve problems in medicine & biology
with the objective of advancing diagnostic methods,
therapies and human health. Bioengineers bring together
knowledge and techniques from different engineering
fields, as well as information from the natural and
life sciences. The bioengineering curriculum therefore
includes fundamental ideas and approaches taken from
the electrical, mechanical, chemical and materials
engineering areas, and then applies them to biomedical
problems. Not only does the study of bioengineering
provide a solid foundation in science and engineering,
but also it develops powerful methods for understanding
basic physiologic processes such as fluid transport
(for example, blood flow), feedback control (for
example, the control of blood pressure), and the
principles underlying biomedical instruments and
prosthetic devices (for example, the ECG machine and
orthopedic implants).
The senior year encompasses a
senior thesis, as well as electives in the
student’s chosen area of interest. The
thesis can emphasize traditional technological or
fundamental science areas as well as areas of societal
and business aspects of bioengineering and health care
policy. Independent study and research are
conducted under the guidance of faculty from the
Schools of Engineering and Medicine, as well as other
schools in the University.
The BAS in Biomedical Science and
the
|
BSE in Bioengineering curricula are
the same in the first two years. The minimum requirements
for the BAS degree in Biomedical Science are:
• Four Mathematics
courses
• Eight and one half
Natural Science courses
• Twelve
Bioengineering courses
• Five Technical
Elective courses (in a designated “Career
Path”)
• Five Social Science
and Humanities courses, one Technology in Business and
Society or Engineering Entrepreneurship course, and one
Engineering Ethics course
• Three Free Elective
courses
Computational Biology
Computational and mathematical
biology are important new areas in the biological
sciences. Recognizing this, the School of Engineering
and Applied Science offers an undergraduate major in
Computational Biology. The program emphasizes a
comprehensive study in both biology and computer
science and leads to the Bachelor of Applied Science
degree. Computational and mathematical biology have
countless applications for graduates including
opportunities in pharmaceutical and biotech industries
as well as academia.
The minimum requirements for the
BAS degree in Computational Biology are:
• Five Mathematics
courses
• Five and one half
Natural Science courses
• Twelve Computer
Science and/or Engineering courses
• Eight Concentration
courses (with the option of including a minor)
• Seven Social
Science, Humanities or Technology in Business and
Society courses
• Two and one half
Free Elective courses
Computer and Cognitive Science
The Computer and Cognitive
Science program combines the application of theoretical
insights from Computer Science, Linguistics,
Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Psychology to the formal
study of intelligence, perception, reasoning, and other
properties of mind, and their application in the
service of Information Technology. The degree
combines a firm grounding in relevant aspects of
computer science, from programming to algorithms to
artificial intelligence, with a concentration in
specific courses from the contingent disciplines.
Required courses outside of computer science have been
selected for formal rigor and scientific relevance. The
Computer and Cognitive Science program trains computer
scientists who have sufficient understanding of these
other disciplines to be able to solve the many open
problems in applications,
