BE graduate students are each expected to give a presentation at the Bioengineering and Toxicology Seminar (BATS) during the fall of their third and spring of their fourth years. This seminar series is intended to provide graduate students in the Department of Biological Engineering with a valuable experience in public speaking and in the presentation of research findings. As such, all students in BE must register for 20.200 for the fall and spring terms each year (1-0-2 units credit; P/D/F) and attend all of the weekly seminars. Faculty and students are reminded that no BE graduate student will be excused from speaking in the seminar series for any reason; missed presentations must be rescheduled
