3 Cell and Tissue Engineering (CTE) is an interdisciplinary field that requires students to master multiple subjects ranging from materials science to stem cell engineering. There are standard classes that all CTE students should take, including Biomaterials I and II and both the cell and tissue engineering courses. When selecting your CTE courses beyond these platform classes, the following specialization areas may provide guidance. While designed only to serve as a guide, the areas of specialization represent important subfields within CTE where cutting edge research is taking place. BIOMATERIALS AREA SPECIALIZATION. This area of specialization is for students who plan to build a strong foundation on biomaterials design, synthesis, processing and characterization, as well as understanding in materials-host interactions. Students can select a set of upper electives from the list that covers a variety of topics ranging from biomaterials synthesis and characterization, to biocompatibility of materials, and to various applications of biomaterials Biomaterials Lab (3) Polymer Chemistry and Biology (3) Advanced Topics in Biomaterials (3) Colloids and Nanoparticles (3) Fundamentals of Physics and Chemistry in Nanomaterials (3) Structure of Materials (3) Mechanical Properties of Materials (3) Electronic Properties of Materials (3) Materials Characterization (3) The Chemistry of Materials Synthesis (3) Biomolecular Materials (3) Microfabrication Laboratory (4) CELL ENGINEERING AREA SPECIALIZATION. This area of specialization is for students who wish to incorporate a strong foundation of cell level and smaller scale (e.g., biochemical and molecular) knowledge into the systems and organism-level knowledge gained from other parts of the BME undergraduate curriculum. To pursue this option, students can select electives that primarily focus on the biochemistry of molecules found within a cell or molecular scale phenomenon (e.g., kinetic processes or transport phenomenon courses). Another cell-based option is to focus on stem cells and complementary coursework (e.g., developmental biology) Biomechanics: Cells and Organisms (3) Kinetic Processes (4) Transport Phenomena I (3) Transport Phenomena II (4) Biomacromolecules at the Nanoscale (3) Computational and Experimental Design of Biomolecules (3) Dynamical Systems (4) Build-A-Genome (4) Biomechanics of Cells and Organisms (3) /2 Cellular and Tissue Engineering Laboratory (3)

4 Build-A-Genome Mentor (4) Developmental Biology (3) Developmental Biology Laboratory (2) Biological Macromolecules: Structure and Function (3) Proteins and Nucleic Acids (3) GENERAL TISSUE ENGINEERING AND STEM CELLS. This is a specialization area that focuses on building tissues and includes an emphasis on stem cells as the major building block of tissues. Students can select from a number of courses related to cell and tissue organization and cell biology in addition to the platform biomaterials courses /2 Cellular and Tissue Engineering Laboratory (3) Bioengineering in Regenerative Medicine (3) Developmental Biology (3) Developmental Biology Laboratory (2) NANOBIOTECHNOLOGY AREA SPECIALIZATION. This area of specialization is for students who are interested in complementing the fundamental scientific knowledge obtained in the standard BME undergraduate curriculum with a focus on the technological aspects of cell and tissue engineering, with particular emphasis on the nanoscale. Students can select from a variety of upper level courses that cover the design, fabrication, and characterization of particles, surfaces, devices, and delivery systems and how they interact with biological systems. Topics include designing nanomaterials (including those used as growth substrates or those intended as drug delivery vehicles) to interact with cells, using cells for regenerative medicine applications, and manipulating various sub-cellular components and classes of biomacromolecules The Chemistry of Materials Synthesis (3) Biomaterials Lab (3) Chemical and Biological Separations (3) Colloids and Nanoparticles (3) Micro/Nanotechnology (3) Bioengineering in Regenerative Medicine (3) Computational and Experimental Design of Biomolecules (3) Build-A-Genome (4)

5 /2 Cellular and Tissue Engineering Laboratory (3) Build-A-Genome Mentor (4) Microfabrication Laboratory (4) Fundamentals of Physics and Chemistry in Nanomaterials (3) BIOMECHANICS AREA SPECIALIZATION. This area incorporates traditional engineering approaches into understanding tissue structure and function. Students who plan to build a strong foundation on cell and tissue biomechanics and mechanobiology may select from these upper electives. These courses cover topics that range from the mechanical characterization of cells and tissues, cellular responses to mechanical cues, the general properties of materials, and orthopaedic biomechanics. This area complements the Biomaterials specialty Mechanical Properties of Materials (3) Materials Characterization (3) Biomechanics: Cells and Organisms (3) /2 Cellular and Tissue Engineering Laboratory (2) Experimental Methods in Biomechanics (3) Biomechanics of Cells and Organisms (3) Advanced Orthopaedic Tissue Engineering (3) Introductory Biomechanics (3) Biosolid Mechanics (3) Microfabrication Laboratory (4)
