Cardiovascular Bioengineering
This program focuses on development of bioengineering principles as they apply to the cardiovascular system. The anatomy of human cardiovascular system, cardiovascular molecular and cell biology, blood fluid mechanics, disease, diagnostic methods and treatment strategies are considered. Engineering principles are applied to evaluate the performance of cardiovascular devices and treatment strategies. Approaches and problems in modeling blood flow are discussed within the context of disease research, device design, and surgical planning.

The certificate program requires the completion of three required courses with a letter grade indicator of 3.0 or better.

Design for Customer Value and Market Success
Founded on the industry recognized Design for Manufacturability course series at Stanford, this certificate program is designed to enhance expertise and creativity in product design and development. An elective course allows flexibility in shaping the program to the area of greatest interest to individual students: product design, product development, manufacturing systems, risk analysis, or advanced dfM. Student projects are a feature of all courses.

The certificate program requires completion of the two core courses and one elective course with a letter grade indicator of 3.0 or better in each course to qualify for the certificate.
