BENG Curriculum Consider taking 4.5 – 5 years Especially if you’re interested in medical / dental / vet schools or a minor Remember summer courses are available, especially in years 1 and 2 Chemistry, Math, general Engineering courses Keep in touch with advising office (3rd floor ENGR building, Katherine Grover is the academic advisor for BENG)

How to succeed in BENG Study room Study groups ENGR 404 (key card access, open during business hours) Study groups Starting next semester, in BENG 1880, start working with study groups Your professors are your friends (kind of) We want you to succeed! We want you in our labs! We want you to stick to BENG!

What are current problems that biological engineers could solve? Contemporary Issues What are current problems that biological engineers could solve? Pass out stack of magazines

To solve these problems, do we use research or design?

How do we figure out what else is out there? Abstracts Posters Conference Proceedings Peer-reviewed Papers

How do we figure out what else is out there? Abstracts – abbreviated summaries of posters, proceedings, papers Posters – visually tell comprehensive but condensed story of research Usually accompanied by a presenter at a conference Conference Proceedings Paper Conferences are usually first source of cutting edge research Some conferences include shorter papers compiled in proceedings Peer-reviewed Papers http://cse.ksu.edu/files/cse/CSE%20Symposium%20PosterPresentation%202011.pdf

Assignment 2 What is the problem you, as a biological engineer, want to solve? Find peer-reviewed papers Compile bibliography of 10 references What would you need to read first to get started solving your problem?
