ENGINEERING 266 - Physiological Control System Modeling

Institution:

Dartmouth College

Subject:

Description:

09S: Arrange This course is designed to mingle the talents of engineering and life science graduate students in order to bring both analytical and biological expertise to bear upon significant problems in mathematical modeling of physiological systems. Techniques appropriate for steady state and dynamic systems analysis are reviewed with reference to specific physiological systems. Applied problems include the analysis of the respiratory control system, modeling the dynamics of cardiac muscle, and optimal control aspects of cardiorespiratory function. Students working in small groups will spend about half the term working on the development of an original mathematical simulation of a physiological system or on adaptation of an existing model to simulate a new aspect of physiological control. Prerequisites: Engineering Sciences 26 and Engineering 166 (or equivalent life sciences background), or permission of the instructor. Daubenspeck.
