What you will study

If BMEN E6003 COMP MODELING-PHYSIOL SYSTEMS has already been taken for the master’s degree, a technical elective can be used to complete the core course requirement. If one or both graduate-level applied mathematics courses have been taken for the master's degree, technical elective(s) can be used as a substitution.
