BME 610 Experimental Design & Data Analysis in Biomedical Engineering 3

Course Description as it currently appears in the system common course database: This course is

intended to introduce students to basic concepts and tools of experimental design and statistical

analysis in biomedical research. We will discuss how to design and execute an experiment and how to

use various statistical tools to estimate data parameters and test hypotheses. It is expected that students

will be able to formulate a rational hypothesis from biological theory, design an experiment to test the

hypothesis, and use an appropriate statistical analysis to examine the hypothesis and interpret the

results upon completion of this course. The primary objective of this course is to help students

understand the methodological and practical principles needed to undertake biological research and

evaluate others' research as published in the biomedical literature.


Current New

X Course Number change from 610 to 710

Justification for all changes noted above: When BME 610 was first offered, students in the BME

program had very little experience in Experimental Design and Data Analysis. As the program has

grown and matured, our incoming students are more experienced in experimental design; consequently

the course has evolved to look at more advanced techniques and relies heavily on literature review.

700-level number will more accurately reflect the content of the course and expectations of

students. The more basic components of the original BME 610 are captured in BME 508 (formerly

BME 608)

CSC 486/586 Data Mining 3


Study of analytic processes which explore data (especially very large data sets) for consistent patterns or

systematic relationships, along with the study of methods for preparing data for analysis and validating the

results of such analysis. The course will focus on processes, techniques, and algorithms for data mining,

rather than applications. Data mining phases will be studied, including: data preparation, initial

exploration, model building, model validation, and deployment.

381

For 586: MATH 381

to For 486: STAT 281 or MATH/STAT

481

For 586: None

Justification for all changes noted above: We are requesting a prerequisite change for USD only. USD

does not offer CSC 300, and MATH 381 is taught infrequently, so two of the three DSU prerequisites

are not a good fit for us. Instead, to achieve a similar level of preparation, USD undergraduates may

take either STAT 281: Introduction to Statistics (identical to MATH 281) or MATH/STAT 481:

Probability and Statistics. At the graduate level, an undergraduate course is an impractical prerequisite,

as many USD graduate students did not complete their undergraduate degrees within the BOR system. To

address this lack of uniformity, advisors will ensure that students registering for CSC 586 have

appropriate statistical knowledge. No change is being requested to the DSU prerequisites.
