The goal of this class is to provide students with experience in designing and implementing a biomedical engineering research project. Students will select a laboratory to host their research rotation within the first two weeks (ideally, before the start of the term) and will participate in lab-related activities for a minimum of 6 hours a week that involve “in person” interaction between the PI or other members of the sponsoring lab and the student. Activities will include attendance at lab meetings, preparation of a research proposal, and “hands on” experimental, computational, or modeling tasks: in addition, attendance at department research seminars and class meetings is required. Periodic reports on your research proposal/project and progress, as well providing feedback on your ‘colleagues’ projects and proposals are also expected. This is a companion course to Biomedical Engineering Project Design and Proposal Development II; the two courses can be taken sequentially in subsequent academic terms (recommended) or concurrently during a single semester.
