This course is an introduction to the world of Neuroengineering. Students will examine the nervous system through an engineering lens to better understand repairing, regenerating, and enhancing the neurological system. Through readings, clinical studies, research, and new technology available in the field, students will study the formation of connections and the neural network formation through chemical and electrical engineering models. Working in groups, students apply this information to develop and present ideas that aid the healing and regenerating processes of the nervous system. As a final project, students will propose a study that can possibly enhance research in neuroengineering.

Session Two
*The course will meet for two hours daily (Monday–Friday) for a live online class during this window of time. The third hour is used for online office hours. Students will be admitted to and attend just one course section and time. The exact course time and office hour schedule will be set closer to the start of the program. In addition to the live meeting times, students complete out-of-class learning assignments such as assigned readings, group work, pre-recorded online lectures, and more.
Prerequisite(s)
Completion of a high school biology course.
