Calendar Description

BIOM 5800 [0.0 credit] (BMG 6996) Biomedical Engineering Seminar (Course Syllabus)
This course is in the form of seminars presented by graduate students and other researchers in the area of Biomedical Engineering. To complete this course, a student must attend at least 10 seminars and make one presentation in the context of this seminar series. 

*This is a mandatory course for the OCIBME graduate program and all students must register in this course in both fall and winter semesters until completion of all course requirements. A seminar attendance without registration is not counted for the credit.

 (1) Attendance at Seminars:

Students must attend at least 10 seminars. Seminars will be announced on the course website. The schedule may vary depending on availability of speakers and it may take multiple terms for a student to attend 10 seminars.

 

In addition to attending official BIOM5800/BMG6996 seminars, attendance at other biomedical related seminars, workshops and conferences may be counted towards the course attendance requirement. Such activities must be approved in advance by the academic advisor/supervisor or course coordinator. A short report (one page) together with the relevant event program must be submitted to the course coordinator by the student to receive credit. In the report, you may outline the talk, describe specific points in detail which you are impressed with, and add your comments on the talk. Copy and paste of the given abstract is NOT acceptable. The report form is available here (note that this report is only required for students wishing to receive credit for attending biomedical events outside of BIOM5800/BMG6996).

 

 

(2) Student Presentation:

Students are expected to make a presentation during the second year of their program, typically in the fall semester. Students can present either their own thesis research or report on an advanced technology in biomedical engineering (either related to the student's thesis research or not). In either case, the topic and abstract must be approved by the academic advisor/supervisor and must not have been previously presented in other courses by the student.

If students choose to present a report on advanced technology, you should select a topic relevant to biomedical engineering and present a critical analysis of the state of the art, perhaps focusing on emerging techniques. You should typically be reviewing 3-5 up-to-date (most recent) publications, along with supporting general background reference materials, to create your presentation. This is not simply a summary of a few articles, your own critical analysis of the field is essential for a successful seminar. See the course syllabus for guidance of a good seminar.

The abstract submission form signed by the advisor/supervisor should be sent to the SCE Department Office (room #ME4456), Carleton University (c/o Prof. Yuu Ono) by the due date posted on this course website.
