  • ENG ME 586: Product Development EngineeringPrereq

    2.00 Credits
    Boston University

    graduate standing in engineering. This course examines the process of creating and managing products. It reveals the methodology and organizational approach for designing, developing, and revitalizing strong products that enable a firm to make the transition from one generation of technology to the next. This course also explains how well-designed product platforms can generate streams of derivative products through a continuous systematic process of renewal. The product development process is decomposed and its elements are examined critically in the context of case studies. (Formerly ENG MN 582.) 2 cr.

  • ME 521: Continuum Mechanics for Biomedical EngineersPrereq

    4.00 Credits
    Boston University

    ENG EK 424 or ENG ME 309 and either ENG ME 304, ENG ME 422, ENG BE 420, ENG BE 436, or consent of instructor. The main goal of this course is to present a unified, mathematically rigorous approach to two classical branches of mechanics: the mechanics of fluids and the mechanics of solids. Topics will include kinematics, stress analysis, balance laws (mass, momentum, and energy), the entropy inequality, and constitutive equations in the framework of Cartesian vectors and tensors. Emphasis will be placed on mechanical principles that apply to all materials by using the unifying mathematical framework of Cartesian vectors and tensors. Illustrative examples from biology and physiology will be used to describe basic concepts in continuum mechanics. The course will end at the point from which specialized courses devoted to problems in fluid mechanics (e.g., biotransport) and solid mechanics (e.g., cellular biomechanics) could logically proceed; students may not receive credit for both. 4 cr.

  • MS 526: Simulation of Physical ProcessesPrereq

    4.00 Credits
    Boston University

    senior or graduate standing in the engineering, physics, or chemistry disciplines, or consent of instructor. Modern simulation methods are used for describing and analyzing the behavior of realistic nonlinear systems that occur in the engineering and science disciplines. By developing and applying such methods and tools, much deeper understanding, insight, and control of novel technologies can be gained, thereby often greatly aiding technology development, and sometimes providing the leverage to turn a novel technology into a practical reality. Advanced numerical methods are covered for attacking nonlinear partial differential equations. Key aspects of the finite element method. Extensive use is made of the modern computational tools Maple and Scientific Workplace. Examples, including problems in micro- and nanoelectronics, bioengineering, material science, photonics, and physics, are introduced and related to sensing instrumentation and control. 4 cr.
