3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 105, BME 201, BME 301 and PHYS 134. This is an introduction to the fundamental concepts of materials science with applications in biomedical engineering. Students analyze physical properties of biomaterials, understand the interaction of the biomaterial with the human body, examine material specifications and fabrication methods, and compare and contrast various materials for an application. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 106, MATH 236, and BME 301. This course is a study of the physical and mathematical concepts of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer with an emphasis on physiological and biological examples. Students perform material balances and apply the first and second law of thermodynamics to biomedical systems. Additional topics include an introduction to biomedical fluid mechanics using the Bernoulli and energy equations and the study of heat transfer to and from the human body under various environmental conditions. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Junior standing and permission of instructor. Projects in which engineering analysis and design are applied to practical engineering problems in the rehabilitation, instrumentation, biological, or medical fields. A written plan at the time of registration and a final oral and written report are required. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BME 302, BME 306, and BME 331. This senior level course is designed to foster independent thinking in the laboratory. Students will conduct experiments on living systems and will develop fundamental skills in designing experiments. Additionally, students will participate in a multidisciplinary team design project. 1 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BME 331, BME 302, and senior standing or permission of instructor. This course is a study of practical aspects of designing instrumentation for biomedical applications. The course will include topics such as semiconductor devices and applications, nonideal amplifiers and filters, noise in electrical circuits, data acquisition principles, and regulatory requirements. Students will learn to design and validate subsystems, focusing on critical performance parameters and the limitations of the devices for practical use. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BME 202. This course will introduce the concepts underlying the field of biomedical signal processing. Topics include: the nature of biomedical signals, signal classification, noise, noise reduction, correlation, autocorrelation, filtering, sampling, and nonlinear signal models. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Senior standing; Corequisite: BME 405. Working under the supervision of the biomedical engineering faculty, students select a capstone design project, thoroughly research solutions, and present and defend a formal proposal. Students will learn and apply fundamental project management techniques to their projects. They are encouraged to work in teams on clinically or industrially relevant projects. The students will be responsible for organizing formal design reviews with faculty, clinical or industrial sponsors, and other students. Students are assessed with weekly progress reports, design reviews, a final written report, and an oral defense of the proposal. The proposed project will be carried out in BME 440 in the subsequent semester. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BME 437. Working under the supervision of biomedical engineering faculty and project advisors, students complete the work on a capstone project that was proposed in BME 437. Students organize formal design reviews with faculty, other students, and industrial sponsors. Students are assessed with weekly progress reports, design reviews, a final written report, and an oral defense of the project. Additionally, students will prepare and submit a technical paper for external dissemination of their project results to a regional biomedical engineering conference. 4 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ENGR 206, BME 350 and MATH 236. This course is a study of orthopedic biomechanics. Topics include the application of engineering mechanics to problems related to orthopedic biomechanics as well as the relationship between the biological structures and mechanical properties of bone, skeletal muscle, tendons and ligaments, and articular cartilage. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BME 302, ENGR 206 or permission of the instructor. This course will cover the principles of fluid statics and dynamics and their application to the human circulatory system. Topics will include the rheological properties of blood, models of flow of blood in large and small vessels, flow through prosthetic devices (e.g. heart valves), and alterations in flow due to disease. 3 cr.
