Fall 2020 Course Information

This semester, our courses have different elements in a mix of in-person and online delivery so we created this table to help explain the options. Classes organized by Canvas means that students will have to select options via the course Canvas page and not the formal UofU schedule. Please check your Canvas page as soon as it is available and contact the instructor with questions.

Misconduct Policies for Biomedical Engineering Students

This document describes the policies and procedures used by the Department of Biomedical Engineering relating to academic misconduct of any student enrolled in a Biomedical Engineering course (e.g., Biomedical Engineering 1010) or any course that is cross-listed with a Biomedical Engineering course (e.g., NEUSC 6050). This policy is in effect starting November 2, 2018, for courses starting in Spring Semester, 2019 and thereafter. Please download the latest version here.

Undergraduate Research Opportunities

The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) resides in the Office of Undergraduate Studies. The mission of the OUR is to facilitate and promote undergraduate student-faculty collaborative research and creative works in all disciplines throughout the University of Utah campus. They house the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), the Undergraduate Research Scholar Designation (URSD), hold the annual Undergraduate Research Symposium (URS) in conjunction with the Honors College, and publish the annual Undergraduate Research Journal. The OUR hosts workshops on research-related topics, offers small & travel grants, and advising for aspiring undergraduate student researchers. The OUR provides a connection to numerous presentation and publication opportunities on a local, state, and nation-wide basis. Additionally, the OUR is an excellent resource for current research opportunities on campus.
