What’s with the Capstone/BE 187 series?
Capstone and BE 187 series were implemented Fall ‘05 to bolster the BE-BE and BTEC ABET accreditation in it’s design requirement. Seniors FA’05 do not have to take these courses. Juniors and Sophmores FA’05 have the choice to take them or follow their original flowcharts upon entering college. This is done through a flowchart decision form found in the Bioengineering Student Affairs Office (BSA). Freshman FA’05 must follow this new flowchart. BE 187A-D revolve around developing design, implementation, presentation, and teamwork skills. The Capstone Design courses are two 3-unit design electives (DE) taken Fall and Winter quarter of the Senior year. You must choose them from a list of available DEs (the list found in the BSA Office) and must be chosen in A-B order ( e.g. – BE 113A in the Fall, and BE 113B in the Winter).
