Teaching
In the spring semesters, Dr. Siyuan Rao teaches Tech Elective BME 486-586 Neuroengineering course. In this course, students are expected to learn state-of-the-art neuroengineering technologies as well as fundamental material engineering knowledge to design neuroengineering techniques. In this course's assignments, students will practice hypothetical manuscript preparation in teams, peer reviewing and manuscript revision processes.
This course doesn't require students' strong neurobiology background. Juniors, Seniors and Graduates are all welcomed. Previous students enrolled in this course come from various programs, including Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience and Behavior, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Molecular and Cell Biology.
