-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. This course is designed to provide a basic knowledge on molecular biology and bioinformatics that is directly applicable to engineering and related science fields. Up-to-date techniques in genetic engineering biotechnology, and bioinformatics will be introduced for the understanding of biological problems using engineering concepts or engineering/mechanical problems through biological tools. This course is cross-listed with CBE 603
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Presentation of principles, characteristics, and applications of instrumentation systems including, sensors, filters, instrumentation amplifiers, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversions, and noise. This course will be useful to graduate students beginning their laboratory thesis research. It is available to students from other departments with permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Anatomical and physiological concepts are introduced to understand and predict human motor capabilities, with particular emphasis on the evaluation and design of manual activities in various occupations. Quantitative models are developed to explain muscle strength performance; cumulative and acute musculoskeletal injury; physical fatigue; and human motion control.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. This course presents and introduction to biomechanics from a continuum mechanics perspective. It covers fundamental concepts of solid and fluid mechanics with applications to living systems. Topics in biosolid mechanics include stress, strain, constitutive relations, equilibrium, response to basic loading modes (extension, bending, and torsion), and buckling. Topics in biofluid mechanics include motion of a continuum, constitutive relations, fundamental balance relations, control volume and semi-empirical methods.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Advanced topics in engineering analysis. Special mathematical concepts will be applied to mechanical engineering problems. Topics will be selected from the following: Fourier series and boundary value problems applied to heat conduction and convection, Laplace transforms and complex variable analysis applied to vibrations and dynamic system analysis, series solutions of differential equations, partial differential equations, general matrix applications to a variety of large systems of equations in engineering, calculus of variation, and Ritz method for various engineering problems. This course is cross-listed with ME 673.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. This course is to survey the structure, function, properties and use of biopolymers. The course has three fifty minute lectures per week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Supporting reading materials will be assigned from the textbook and supplementary reading materials (see the list above). Please note that the textbook is meant to supplement the lectures, not to substitute for them; you will ONLY be responsible for the materials presented in the lectures.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. This course focuses on composite materials applied to bioengineering. First part of the course introduces biocomposites for medical applications and biocompatibility. Second part focuses on mechanical design and manufacturing aspects of various fibrous polymer matrix composites in terms of: i) material selection, fabrication, and characterization, ii) mechanics of composite materials, iii) design with composite materials. Third part deals with ceramic or nano composites and their applications in biomedical engineering. Final part introduces various case studies such as dental, orthopedics, prosthetic socket, and external fixator applications.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Course Description: Application of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nano-systems to biological systems, interaction of living cells and tissues with MEMS substrates and nano-engineered materials, microfluidics, engineering of inputs and outputs.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. The course presents the fundamentals of continuum mechanics and nonlinear theory of elasticity with applications to the mechanical behavior of soft biological tissues.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. This course covers the physics of the major modalities commonly used in medical imaging. Also covered are the various principles and methods of constructing an image from the physical interactions of energy with living tissue, and the influence on image quality of the different modalities. Medical imaging systems to be analyzed include conventional X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine (PET and SPECT), and ultrasound. Each of these modalities will be introduced from basic physical principles to the process of image formation. The primary focus is on the physical principles, instrumentation methods, and imaging algorithms; however, the medical interpretation of images, and clinical, research and ethical issues are also included where possible to give students a deeper understanding of the medical imaging field.
