Tissue engineering can be defined as the application of principles of engineering, biology, materials science, and medicine to restore, maintain, or improve tissue function. This field evolved from the field of biomaterials development, and the term "tissue engineering" has become largely interchangeable with "regenerative medicine," which also incorporates the research on self-healing. In this course, fundamental engineering and biological principles underlying the field of tissue engineering will be studied, along with case-studies on fabricating specific functional tissues and organs.
May be repeated to a maximum of 12 hours.
Discussion of advanced and current topics in biomedical engineering. Individual work on research problems of current interest. May be repeated to a maximum of nine credits. Lecture/laboratory hours variable.
This course aims to improve the student's ability to communicate with patients and the public in an empathetic and professional manner. Methods of obtaining necessary health information from all types of patients are taught.

This course will give DMD students experience in research design and methods, including laboratory and clinical methods of research and learning the importance of clinical translational research for the practice of Dentistry. Students will have a variety of research lectures and experiences throughout the curriculum and will be working towards selecting a mentor to work during this program. Additionally, this program will also increase the exposure of UKCD students within the research community within and outside UKCD.
This course is an introduction to the science of environmental pollution with an emphasis on fate and transport of contaminants and adverse effects on biological systems. Pollutants covered include metals, pesticides, organics, radionuclides, nanomaterials, and nutrients. The course covers physiological and toxicological effects of chemicals on natural biota, including considerations at cellular, organismal, population, community, and ecosystem levels.
Individual work on some selected problems in one of the various fields of civil engineering. Laboratory, six hours. May be repeated to a maximum of nine credits.
