Course Selection Guidelines:
BME Electives: Some 300 level courses are not offered every year. Students should consult with their advisor so that their elective choices match their interests
Senior Projects: Students interested in working with a faculty member on a two-term Senior Project should meet with potential faculty advisors during their junior year to identify a project. Interested students should meet with potential faculty advisors during their junior year to identify a project, and they should notify the BME Program Director when they have decided on a senior project. The first course (BME 497) will count as a Free Elective and the second course (BME 498) will count as a BME Elective.
Electives: should be chosen in consultation with the student’s advisor to meet the Common Curriculum requirements and enhance educational objectives. These elective courses can be customized to complete a double-major or minors.
87
Requirements for Honors:
The criteria for graduating with honors in Biomedical Engineering are: (1) a cumulative index of at least 3.3; (2) a cumulative index in major courses of at least 3.3, with an A or A- in at least three of those courses; (3) an A or A- in the capstone design course or a senior research project; (4) final six terms of courses at Union. The major courses are listed above under “Foundation and core courses for Biomedical Engineering,” “Biomedical Engineering electives” and “Capstone design”.
