Bioelectronics and Biophotonics Minor
The bioelectronics and biophotonics minor is designed for students in chemical, biological, environmental sciences, and biomolecular engineering to learn how to interface biological systems with electronics including sensors, actuators, and wireless communications. Introductory chemistry and physiology is desired, but not required.
Course Requirements
Essential courses for the minor in bioelectronics and biophotonics deal with the analog electronics to interface biological systems to sensors and with the signals they produce, both analog and digital, for interfacing to computer systems. The minor requirements may satisfy the requirements of other majors or minors under the campus policy discussed under Major and Minor Requirements. The minor cannot be combined with the bioelectronics concentration of the former bioengineering major or the electrical engineering B.S. or electrical engineering minor.
Requirements for the minor in bioelectronics and biophotonics consist of the following:
