BIOE 301D is a hands-on laboratory class designed to teach students the basics of microfluidic device design, fabrication, operation, and troubleshooting. During the first week of class, life science and clinical labs across campus will come and pitch ideas for devices that would advance their own research. Students will then choose projects, form teams, and attempt to create devices to meet these needs via two design/build/test iterations. In the process, students will learn how to design efficient experiments, navigate uncertainty, and communicate with end users and consider their needs. BIOE 301D is a 3-4 unit course and enrollment is limited to GENE 20 students due to space constraints within the Microfluidics Foundry. If the class is oversubscribed, we will ask students to fill out a course application form prior to the start of winter quarter.
