42-203 Biomedical Engineering Laboratory
9 units, Carnegie Mellon University
This laboratory course is designed to provide students with the ability to make measurements on and interpret data from living systems. The experimental modules reinforce concepts from 42-101 Introduction to Biomedical Engineering and expose students to four areas of biomedical engineering: biomedical signal and image processing, biomaterials, biomechanics, and cellular and molecular biotechnology. Several cross-cutting modules are included as well. The course includes weekly lectures to complement the experimental component. Prerequisites: 42-101 Introduction to Biomedical Engineering and 03-121 Modern Biology. If you require a biology lab for pre-health admissions requirements, please contact Kristin Kropf (Biomedical Engineering) and Amanda Willard (Biological Sciences) in the same email for permission to register for 03-206 instead of 42-203. Priority for enrollment will be given to students who have declared the Additional Major in Biomedical Engineering and Additional Major in Biomedical Technology.
Prerequisites: 42-101 and (03-151 or 03-121)
Offered: Spring 2027, Fall 2026, Spring 2026, Fall 2025
