| • | Advanced Standing - All students intending to take upper-division (3/400-level) classes must apply for Advanced Standing. You will not be able to register for upper division classes without it. To qualify for Advanced Standing, you must have a GPA of 2.5 or higher in your core major classes. Applications may be picked up in the AME advising office N310. Please bring a copy of your DARS SAPR with you to turn in with the application. This information can also be found in the course catalog. |

Undergraduate Research Opportunities
The following projects are available to undergraduate students interested in research experience. Interested students should contact the project advisor listed under each topic. The project advisor can award academic credit under AME392 or AME492 courses, or financial support (when available).
List of Current Projects:
* A Microfluidic Device for Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing *
Project Advisor: Pak Wong: pak@email.arizona.edu
This project aims to develop a microfluidic device for performing antibiotic susceptibility testing in non-traditional healthcare setting. Students will learn micro fabrication techniques that originated from integrated circuit (IC) industry for developing point-of-care biomedical devices.
* A Nanoengineered Biosensor for Rapid Detection of Biomolecules *
Project Advisor: Pak Wong: pak@email.arizona.edu
This project aims to develop a nanoengineered biosensor for rapid detection of biomolecules. Students will apply engineering principles to design nanoengineered probes for biological applications. Quantitative fluorescence experiments will be performed to optimize the probe design.
* Mathematical Simulation of Protein Gene Interactions *
Project Advisors:
Ibrahim Guven: guven@email.arizona.edu
Jonathan Flax: jdflax@email.arizona.edu
This project investigates the fundamental mechanisms driving gene activation and silencing by designing simple mathematical models based on experimental observations. This project is multi-disciplinary by nature, and involves two faculty members from AME and Department of Neurology. The students will implement mathematical models of biological phenomena utilizing programming languages such as Matlab and/or Java. In addition to computational aspects, visualization of results will also be emphasized.
* Micro-robotic drug delivery system *
Project Advisor: Eniko T. Enikov: enikov@email.arizona.edu
This project applies micro-technology to targeted drug delivery. In the core of the project is a ferromagnetic micro-structure (skeleton), which carries a bio-compatible coating containing the drug to be delivered. Student-researchers design and assemble the "micro-robot" from individually fabricated parts. Subsequently, the assembled device is passed through a dual capillary manifold encapsulating it in a drug-containing shell.
* Advanced International Studies in Micro and Nanomechanics *
Project Advisor: Eniko T. Enikov: enikov@email.arizona.edu
This project provides travel stipends for US students to spend one semester in Europe (Budapest, Hungary or Bratislava, Slovakia). Students choosing to participate in this project will take courses (required or elective) and participate in research on micro- and nanotechnology.
