-
1.00 Credits
This seminar is suitable for freshman, sophomores, and non-majors. A series of guest lectures will introduce students to cutting-edge advances in bioengineering.
-
1.00 Credits
Exploration of physiologic systems through measurement of biologic signals. EEG, ECG, EMG pulmonary function tests, etc. are performed and analyzed. Students will explore physiologic concepts through computer simulations, data collection, and analysis. Enrollment in or completion of BIOE 322 is expected. For students intending to major in Bioengineering.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will teach the fundamentals of human physiology from an engineering perspective, with specific focus on the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory and urinary systems. Lectures, assignments and exams will be quantitative and will introduce engineering priciples, such as conservation of mass and energy, controls and system analysis, thermodynamics and mass transport, and apply them to the study of physiologic systems.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of engineering principles to biological processes. Mathematical and experimental techniques for quantitative descriptions of enzyme knietics, metabolic and genetic networks, cell growth kinetics, bioreactor design and operation.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will be a mathematically rigorous and quantitative coverage of the fundamentals of thermodynamics with applications drawn from contemporary bioengineering problems. Fundamental topics will include the First and Second Law, Entropy Inequality, Biggs and Helmholtz Free Energy, Maxwell Relations, Chemical Potential, Equilibrium, Phase Transitions, Solution Thermodynamics, Electrochemistry and Statistical Mechanics. Advanced topics will include self-assembly, the hydrophobic effect, interfacial phenomena, polymer and membrane phase transitions, membrane transport, electromechanically coupling and on-equilibrium thermodynamics. The course ill cover the role that thermodynamics plays in molecular engineering and the design of biologically-inspired materials.
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to tissue culture techniques, including cell passage, cell viability, and cell attachment and proliferation assays. Graduates complete quantitative analysis of their data. Engineering design and applications are featured in graded work. Sections 1 and 2 are taught during the first half of the semester. Sections 3 and 4 are taught during the second half of the semester. Students may be required to attend lab on a university holiday. Your registration for this course will not be accepted until you obtain Dr. Saterbak's signature on an Undergraduate Special Registration Request form.
-
3.00 Credits
Seminar-style introductory design course covering epidemiology, pathophysiology, health systems, health economics, medical ethics, humanitarian emergencies, scientific and engineering design methods, and appropriate health technology case studies. To register, you must be enrolled in the GLHT minor and submit a 250 statement to beyondtraditionalborders@rice.edu by Monday of preregistration. The minor and course prerequisite is waived for students majoring in Bioengineering.
-
3.00 Credits
Importance of nutritional and pharmaceutical compounds, impact of cost of compounds on global health; overview of biochemical pathways; Genetic engineering and molecular biology tools for ME; Nutritional molecules; Pharmaceuticals (antibiotics, tamiflu-against influenza virus; anti-parasite compounds against malaria and filarial diseases; anti-diarrhea treatments).
-
1.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to several innovative methods of small-scale water purification which are approprate for implementation in the developing world. Through the different components of the course, students will acquire and hone a sustainable methodology for addressing global health problems at the local level.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the fundamental principles of mechanics applied to the analysis and characterization of biological systems. Topics covered include normal and shear stresses, normal and shear strains, mechanical properties of materials, load, deformation, elasticity and elastoplastic behavior. Quantitative analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate structures subjected to tension, compression, torsion and bending will be covered. Additionally, aspects of blood rheology, viscoelasticity, and musculoskeletal mechanics will be addressed.
