The Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics in the Whiting School of Engineering offers a minor in Computer Integrated Surgery (CIS) for full-time, undergraduate students at Johns Hopkins. The minor is particularly well suited for students interested in computer integrated surgery issues who are majoring in a variety of disciplines including biomedical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. The minor provides formal recognition of the depth and strength of a student's knowledge of the concepts fundamental to CIS beyond the minimal requirements of their major.
To add the minor, please follow the instructions below:
- Complete the CIS Advising Plan, outlining how you plan to complete the minor (you can find this on this page: https://lcsr.jhu.edu/computer-integrated-surgery-minor/).
- Email the completed course checkout sheet to Dr. Taylor (rht@jhu.edu) who oversees the CIS minor.
- Email the approved checkout sheet to Alison Morrow (Alison.morrow@jhu.edu).
- Complete the SIS Online Form to add the minor.
For questions: Please contact Alison Morrow (alison.morrow@jhu.edu).

Program Requirements
To satisfy the requirements for the minor in CIS, a student must have:
- a fundamental background in computer programming and computer science
- sufficient mathematical background
- take a minimum of six additional courses with a total of at least 18 credits directly related to the concepts relevant to CIS. These six CIS courses must include two fundamental CIS core courses, which provide the student with the fundamental basis for CIS, and four approved upper-level courses (300-level or above) to allow the student to pursue an advanced CIS topic in depth. The additional four upper-level courses must include at least one course designated as an "imaging" course or one course designated as a "robotics" course, as discussed below.
The student must earn at least a C- in each course. Graduate levels of the same course may be substituted for the undergraduate levels listed below without additional permission.
