Reason for change

This is the FYI course for the Bioengineering program.  This course has been redeveloped as part of a CTL grant awarded to Dr. Patricia Relue.  We have adopted a design project-based approach that is becoming more common in introductory level courses offered by various engineering programs.  The increase in credit hours is needed to make sure the students have the necessary technical and computing skills to complete the design project while still satisfying University requirements for FYI courses.
