Subject:

Description:

Semester course; 3 lecture and 3 laboratory hours. 4 credits. Prerequisites: EGRM 202, EGRB 215 and MATH 301. This first course in biomechanics will analyze the forces, stresses and strains in the human body during normal function. Emphasis will be placed on certain parts of the human body including hard (bone) and soft (cartilage, ligaments, tendons) tissues. A knowledge of statics and the mechanics of deformable bodies is required, as is a knowledge of calculus and differential equations. Exposure to human anatomy and physiology also is necessary, however, more in-depth anatomic study of the different parts of the body will be covered.
