This biomedical engineering core course focuses on topics related to the use of quantitative tools in biomedical engineering research studies. It will teach students how to conduct statistical analysis of biomedical data, design biomedical experiments that can offer statistical insight, and apply computational methods to solve problems in biomedical engineering. Educational emphasis will be placed on developing students' core competence in biostatistics and biomedical computing, so as to prepare them to pursue biomedical engineering investigations that are backed by quantitative reasoning and numerical insights.

“Hey I was wondering how much previous bio knowledge is needed to take this course? And how heavy is the workload? …”

u/ConsequenceNo3618: “I haven't taken CS 482, but based on ECE 608, it should focus on the computational part and not require much knowledge in biology. …”
