If its the same as when I take it, you have about 2-3 weeks in the classroom brainstorming problems and solutions you can make. You then go to the workshops for the rest of the semester to actually build your solution to any problem on Grounds. You don't have class during this time, you only go to the shops- 150 minutes a week whenever you want to in the afternoon. It's a pretty rewarding class since you actually have a finished product at the end. It's definitely harder than other 1620 sections, but there is no reading, writing, etc. So if you like working in machine shops, take this section. Guilford isn't always consistent with what he wants in the 2 PowerPoint presentations you have to do, but overall a pretty cool class.

Dr. Bill is awesome. Biomed section of this class is the best. And Dr. Bill's section is by far the best.
Professor Guilford presents an unorthodox way of teaching that engages students ten fold the average teacher. With his sarcastic sense of humor and honest intentions, he exemplifies what every teacher should shoot for.
The BME Intro to Engr. Course was definitely interesting and a good start to understanding what Engineering is about. Although not directly related to BME, you have to start somewhere. You have to learn how to work in groups and deal with any problems that may (and WILL) come up with your project. Try to enjoy your time in the workshop, it makes a huge difference!
