Clinical Preceptorship
Clinical faculty have unique insights into the limitations of current medical practive imposed by conditions which may be changed by the application of engineering principles. The primary goal for this class is for students to learn about these limitations and to think about how to move past them. Students will accompany a clinical faculty member in a clinical environment and will work with an engineering faculty member to examine some of these practices and restraints with a goal to propose possibly improvements.

Fundamentals of Computational Neuroscience
This course will present the major concepts of neural signaling and communication from the single neuron to systems of neural ensembles. We will discuss the role of neural computation for advancing knowledge of information-processing in the brain. It will be shown how experimental data can be summarized and predicted through computational modeling. Whenever possible, computer simulations will be used to provide real examples for student experimentation.
