Institution:

University of Missouri-Kansas City

Subject:

Description:

This course is to provide students with an introduction to the engineering principles of biomechanics. Following a general introduction to anatomical terminology, students will be exposed to three primary sub-disciplines of biomechanics including kinetics and kinematics of human movement, muscle mechanics, and biomaterials. Students will become familiar with measurement techniques and current research being done within each of these units through lectures and in-class discussions and presentations of relevant journal articles. A final semester project, culminating in a NIH-style research proposal, will be developed throughout the semester in one of the three units presented. 3 hrs
