1.00 Credits
Dr. Dancisak. Co-requisite: BMEN 7030, 704. This course involves students in learning the principles and applications of anatomy and physiology. Dissection and exploration of preserved animals and cadavers are integral components of the lab. Computer software is used to explore the three-dimensional aspects of human anatomy. Physiological instruments will be used to demonstrate the interaction of physiological systems through electrocardiography, Spirometry, pO2 and pCO2, and for body composition analysis. Subject matter will include levels of organization, metabolism, histology, and the integumentary skeletal, muscular, neurological and endocrine systems.

1.00 Credits
Pre-requisite: BMEN 3030/3130. Co-requisite: BMEN 706. Tulane University Health Sciences Center Staff. Subject matter will include blood, nutrition, and metabolism; and the cardiovascular, lymphatic, digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems.
-
3.00 Credits
Dr. Moore. Pre-requisite: ENGP 3120, ENGP 2430, BMEN 2600. The objective of this course is to deepen the student’s knowledge of phenomena that influence the success of surgical implants used in vivo. Building upon the introductory material covered in ENGR 312, basic concepts of materials science and engineering relevant to this topic are discussed. In addition to engineering performance issues, fundamental factors affecting the biocompatibility of implant devices will also be covered. Laboratory experiments will be utilized, in a supplemental fashion, to illustrate selected aspects of this material and to provide an introduction to procedures used to evaluate biomaterials. This course will serve as a bridge for students who wish to take more advanced graduate level biomaterials courses in the future.

3.00 Credits
Dr. Anderson; Dr. Murfee. Pre-requisite: ENGP 2430, BMEN 2600. This course introduces students to the various interdisciplinary fields in biomechanics - such as orthopaedic biomechanics, biofluid mechanics, soft tissue mechanics, and the biomechanics of human movement. Specific topics include: kinematics and energy/power during human activity; dynamics of human movement; the analysis of forces and stresses/strains in biological structures under loading; constitutive models for biological materials; and the relationship between structure and function in tissues and organs.
-
3.00 Credits
Dr. Ahsan. Pre-requisite: BMEN 2600. This course focusses on the fundamentals of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The key topic areas include the structure/function relationships of tissues, fundamental approaches to engineering tissues, and critical challenges for regenerative medicine. In addition, evaluation techniques to assess biological and functional properties of engineered tissues will be identified. Current research topics in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine will be incorporated through class discussion. A laboratory module is included to provide hands-on experience with cell culture.
-
3.00 Credits
Dr. Rice. Methods and resources for experimental studies in engineering science are introduced. Topics include the nature of scientific inquiry, literature search and writing techniques, experimental design and control, data analysis and presentation, and statistical methods. An original proposal is required.
-
3.00 Credits
Prof. Damir B. Khismatullin. Fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and mass transport will be applied to biological systems at the cellular, tissue, and organ levels." " The topics of this course will be the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, transmembrane and transvascular transport, cell adhesion and intracellular transport, drug transport and pharmacokinetics, and transport-related diseases (atherosclerosis, sickle cell disease, embolism, cancer metastasis)." " (Same as BMEN 3420 and CENG 3420).
-
3.00 Credits
Staff. Pre-requisite: ENGP 2010. The objective of this course is to introduce the student to bioelectricity of excitable cells from a quantitative perspective. Topics include membrane transport phenomena, the ionic basis of action potentials, the Hodgkin - Huxley model, propagation of action potentials down excitable fibers, the response of cells to external stimuli, and the current flow in the medium surrounding the electrically-active cell. The course also incorporates virtual bioelectricity labs designed to familiarize the student with the concepts presented in lecture.
-
4.00 Credits
Dr. Walker. Pre-requisite: ENGP 2010. Rectifiers, filters, regulators and power supplies. Analog amplifiers and active filters of interest for medical devices. Combinational and sequential digital logic design techniques and circuits. Brief overview of modulation, encoding, and interfacing. Note: Electrical safety. Extensive weekly lab projects.
-
3.00 Credits
Dr. Walker. Pre-requisite: BMEN 2730. Design and construction of embedded controllers using PIC and BASIC Stamp hardware. Control of servo devices, robotics, display and sensor interfacing, and data storage are considered. Assembly language is emphasized. In-lab and final projects.
