Course Description

Topics decided upon by faculty will vary within the area of study.

DESCRIPTION This course investigates cutting edge technologies in Neuroengineering in a seminar format that includes lectures from guest faculty from the School of Biomedical Engineering, College of Medicine, local universities, and local industries. The modules cover multiple topics that vary from year to year, including cellular and circuit engineering, neuromodulation, neuroregeneration, neuroprosthetics, neural implants and brain-machine interfaces. COURSE PURPOSE WITHIN A PROGRAM OF STUDY The purpose of this course is to introduce students to cutting-edge techniques and innovations in neuroengineering. The course enables students to apply fundamental principles learned in BMES 477/710 to analyzing and critiquing technologies and clinical applications. They learn to identify limitations in current neuroengineering research and develop potential solutions for these limitations. Through oral presentations and proposals, they also enhance their ability to disseminate knowledge and provide rationale for their own ideas. 

Allows junior and senior students to conduct advanced laboratory experiments across various fields of physics, including chaos theory, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and spectroscopy. Students utilize equipment such as oscilloscopes, germanium detectors, and other specialized instruments to perform precise measurements and analyses. The course also requires students to author four professional scientific papers based on their experimental work before completion along with a presentation. 

Course Outline from Syllabus: In this course you will be performing four experiments. While the overall outline of the experiments will be provided, with pointers to technical data, much of what you do in the experiments will be up to you. For each of the experiments, you will individually turn in a formal report (typically 5-10 pages) describing the motivation, theory, procedure, data, analysis, results, and conclusions from your experiment.
Professor: Dr. Charles Lane

This class contains 4 experiments, each of which with a formal lab report. The first two labs are guided by the TA explaining how to use the equipment and potential experiments that we can do. The group decides what to do from these ideas. For the second two labs, the group chooses an experiment to do based on the equipment available. This includes coming up with an experiment plan based on some loose ideas recommended by the professor. There is also a presentation at the end of the quarter where each group presents a walk-through of one of the experiments they conducted during the quarter. 

(Course description as per the official flyer. Research with Industry is a selective course offered at the instructor's discretion, so its description may vary from that of traditional courses.)
Course 2, Spring Quarter 2023: Execute the research study by leading the second national DragonBowl E-Sports tournament! Conduct data collection throughout the tournament and analyze data with coding software. (2 credits) 

Students will be introduced to the issues, techniques, and methodologies associated with conducting psychological research. Topics include the logic of research in psychology; how to study various psychological phenomena; ethical issues; design, analysis, and interpretation of psychological research. Through the course, students will gain skill in writing research reports in the style used by research psychologists.

BIO 142 SEA-PHAGES I 2.0 CreditsDrexel University is one of over 100 institutions associated with the Science Education Alliance – Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science (SEA-PHAGES) program funded through the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). This means that in the Honors section of Introductory Biology, we have a new scientific discovery-driven research based lab component to discover and analyze new bacteriophage viruses. There are approximately 1031 bacteriophages in the world and we can help understand their evolution, their diversity, and their functional roles (medical, environmental, ecological) through contributing the data on the phage we discover to this growing database. This laboratory course is part of a sequence of three introductory courses.

Course involves exploring unique properties of HPDLCs (Holographic Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals), investigating both holographic and liquid crystal components. Along with understanding application with imaging systems. Objective is to apply to autonomous application for hyperspectral imaging systems. As well as to contribute to advancement of imaging systems by investigating manufacturing, development, performance, and functionality of HPDLC displays.
