Engineering and Physical Sciences:
BME 551 Tissue Engineering (BMS 523) Sem. 1. Class
3, cr. 3. Admission by consent of instructor.
Integrates the principles and methods of engineering and life sciences
toward the fundamental understanding of structure-function relationships
in normal and pathological mammalian tissues, especially as they relate
to the development of biological substitutes to restore, maintain, or
improve tissue/organ function. Current concepts and strategies, including
drug delivery, tissue and cell transplantation, bioartificial organs,
and in vivo tissue regeneration are introduced, as well as their respective
clinical applications. Professor Voytik-Harbin.
BME 570 Surface Science Techniques
for Biomedical and Chemical Applications Sem. 2. Class 3, cr.
3. Prerequisite: senior or graduate standing in engineering or science.
Review of fundamental aspects of common surface science techniques.
Presents an integrated view of these techniques and their application
to biomedical and biochemical problems. Emphasis is placed on the practical
aspects of each technique. Professor Ivanisevic.
BME 630 Introduction to Biomedical
Imaging Systems (ECE 620) Sem. 2. (Offered in alternate years.)
Class 3, cr. 3. Prerequisite: ECE 637 or consent of instructor.
Overview of biomedical imaging systems and analysis. Examination of
various imaging modalities including X-ray, ultrasound, nuclear, and
MRI. Microscopy including how images are formed and what types of information
they provide. Image analysis techniques including analysis of cardiac
ultrasound, mammography, and MRI functional imagery. Professor Delp.
BME 658 Cell and Tissue Culture:
Techniques and Application Module (BMS 635) Sem. 2. Class 2,
cr. 2. Admission by consent of instructor.
This intensive laboratory module is designed to provide students from
various disciplines
(e.g., life science and engineering) with practical, hands-on experiences
in the area of cell and tissue culture. Students are taught the principles
of culturing cells and tissues in vitro and have the opportunity to
apply state-of-the-art culturing techniques to both 2-dimensional and
3-dimensional culture systems. Specific methodologies focus on both
qualitative and quantitative analysis of fundamental cell behavior,
including proliferation, differentiation, migration, and adhesion. Professor
Voytik-Harbin.
BME 690 Seminar in Biomedical
Engineering Sem. 1 and 2. Cr. 0. Required of Biomedical Engineering
graduate students at Purdue; M.S. and Ph.D. students must complete two
and four semesters (respectively) prior to graduation.
Seminar course covering a broad range of current research topics spanning
Biomedical Engineering. Seminar presentations by representatives from
industry and faculty from Purdue University and other external institutions.
Professor Rundell.
CS 591 Seminar Sem.
1 and 2. Class 1, cr. 1. Offered as pass/not pass only. (May be repeated
for credit.)
A weekly seminar presented by faculty and invited speakers, normally
in a specific area (for example: CS 591E, Topical Lectures in Information
Security). |

Life Sciences:
F&N 607 Nutritional Biochemistry and Physiology III
Sem. 2. Class 2, cr. 2. Prerequisite: graduate student standing and
previous training in nutrition, physiology, and biochemistry, or consent
of instructor.
Integration of biochemical and physiological functions of nutrients
in humans and animals, emphasizing transport and metabolism in the context
of cardiovascular function. Professors Burgess, Fleet, Latour, and Mattes.
NUR 512 Clinical Applications
in Pharmacotherapeutics Sem. 1 and 2. SS. Class 1, cr. 1. Corequisite:
NUR 502.
This course applies information from NUR 502 to the care of clients
through the use of case studies. Emphasis is placed on incorporating
information from pharmacology, physiology, and physical assessment.
Professor Edwards.
NUR 598 Research Project Sem.
1 and 2. SS. Class 3, cr. 3. Prerequisite: NUR 510; prerequisite or
corequisite: NUR 542, 543 and 675.
Students apply research principles through problem identification, proposal
development, implementation, and evaluation of a clinical problem. Students
synthesize principles of health assessment and advanced practice nursing
through a clinical research project. The project may be an evaluation
study or part of an ongoing faculty research project. Professors Edwards,
Sands, Wall, and Wilkerson.
NUR 675 Role Transition and
Synthesis Sem. 1 and 2. SS. Class 2, cr. 2. Prerequisite: NUR
532 and 533; corequisites: NUR 542, 543, and 598.
This course provides an integration of core, cognate, and specialty
knowledge, with an emphasis on role transition and synthesis. Focuses
on internal and external healthcare organizational factors at the local,
state, national, and international levels. Seminars explore role issues,
licensure, credentialing, finances, legislation, healthcare policy,
legal issues, ethics, cultural diversity, evidence-based practice, emerging
trends in the management of acute and chronic conditions of adults,
and independent and collaborative practice. Professors Novak and Nelson. |
