3.00 Credits
An introduction to the vast and diverse field of biomedical engineering. The course comprises four modules reflecting the four tracks of our curriculum: biomechanics, bioelectrical systems, biomolecular systems, and biotechnology, plus an additional module on imaging. There are two major purposes of this course. First, via introductory lectures and homework exercises, to teach students basic engineering approaches to solving problems related to each track. Second, to expose students to current approaches to each of these topics by way of guest lectures by faculty discussing their current research. The emphasis throughout is to encourage self-exploration and to develop thinking as well as quantitative and analytical problem-solving skills. Corequisites: Physics 117A, Chem 11aA, and college-level calculus.

3.00 Credits
This seminar course introduces students to the fascinating and complex process of bringing new medical technologies from the concept stage to the market place. The course draws on experiences of successful entrepreneurs and industry professionals to address some of the most important elements of the technology life cycle. Topics include the theory, practice, challenges and opportunities of business strategy development; FDA regulations; product development; finances; sales and marketing; patents and intellectual property protection; team and corporate culture; and professional ethics. The course exposes students to the real-world experiences of guest speakers with diverse backgrounds including practicing engineers, entrepreneurs, attorneys, investors, industrial psychologists, team development professionals, career development coaches, and other relevant professionals. The course provides fun, thought-provoking and interactive learning throughout the semester, culminating in presentations by student groups at the end of the semester in lieu of a final exam. Student teams each conceive a hypothetical medical product and develop and present a complete business plan addressing issues covered throughout the course. Students bring remarkable creativity and imagination to the final project, bringing the course to a rousing conclusion. Business, Arts & Sciences, and other nonengineering students are encouraged to join the course and take advantage of the value it offers. Prerequisite: BME 140 or permission of the instructor.

The target audience for this course is juniors majoring in Biomedical Engineering. Those who do not fit into this category need permission from the course master to enroll in this course, as space is limited. The course begins with a review of probability theory and multivariate calculus; this is followed by a discussion of the foundations of chemical thermodynamics, including mass, energy and entropy balances, the laws of thermodynamics and its applications, and its applications for the study of ideal and non-ideal mixtures. These foundations are used to segue into statistical mechanics, ensemble theory, chemical and physical equilibria, the thermodynamics of solvation processes, electrochemical equilibria, physical and chemical kinetics. Finally, the course concludes with a detailed discussion of intermolecular forces and an introductory discussion of phase transitions. A strong background in multivariate calculus is a necessary prerequisite for this course. The lectures and homework are based on the user-friendly textbook, Molecular Driving Forces: Statistical Thermodynamics in Chemistry and Biology, by Ken A. Dill and Sarina Bromberg, published by Garland Science.
