4.00 Credits
Theory and practice of biomedical measurements. An introduction to instruments and procedures for measurement of pressure, flow, bioelectrical potentials, biomechanical and biomaterial properties, using invasive and noninvasive techniques. Transducers studied include strain gauge, differential transformer, spectrometer, blood gas electrodes, bipotential electrodes, microscope with camera, mechanical testing machine, piezoelectric transducer (or sensor). Also studied are instruments for determination of material properties. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: BMED 2200, BMED 4500 or permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
3.00 Credits
Relationships between structure and properties of synthetic implant materials, including metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites. The emphasis is on mechanical, corrosion, and surface properties of materials. Detailed review of blood-material interactions. An introduction to biocompatibility with special emphasis on the interaction of biomaterials with cells and tissues in the context of implant surface design and tissue engineering. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BMED 2100 may be taken concurrently. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
This course discusses state-of-the-art techniques in patterning biomolecules, biosensors, machining three-dimensional microstructures and building microfluidic devices (Lab-on-a-Chip). Seminal and current literature will be used to discuss topics in BioMEMs ranging from device fabrication to applications in cell biology and medicine. Students cannot get credit for both BMED 4410 and BMED 6410. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: Jr/Sr. Standing When Offered: Spring annually Credit Hours: 3
-
4.00 Credits
Comprehensive examination of cellular interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as analysis of the structure and function of the ECM in a variety of tissues. Topics to be covered include: EMC proteins, cell-matrix interactions, ECM signaling, mechanics of the ECM, ECM pathology and recent advances in ECM research. There are no formal prerequisites, but students should have a rudimentary knowledge of cell biology and protein structure (readings to provide this can be requested from the instructor). When Offered: Spring term of even-numbered years. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Applications of control theory and systems techniques to physiology. Emphasis is on entire systems and their interactions rather than isolated phenomena. Areas covered include cardiac, respiratory, renal, and gastrointestinal systems. Includes laboratory on the application of engineering techniques in the study of physiological systems. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 4290 or equivalent. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Application of mechanics to the study of normal, diseased, and traumatized musculo-skeletal system. Areas covered include determination of joint and muscle forces, mechanical properties of biological tissues, and structural analysis of bone-implant systems. Case studies are discussed to illustrate the role of biomechanics and biomaterials in the design of implants. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ENGR 2050, BMED 2200. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
3.00 Credits
A guided approach to development of design skills. Students work individually and in teams to tackle a biomedical design problem using methods drawn as necessary from engineering and from the physical and mathematical sciences. Discussion sessions involve students in presentations of work. This is a writing-intensive course. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: senior standing. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
This course teaches the use of engineering principles to describe cellular processes of biological, chemical, and physical nature. A quantitative approach will be used to explain the behavior of cells under various physical stimuli through the application of the laws of physics, mathematics, and physical biochemistry. The transduction of these physical stimuli into modified behavior and their impact on organ level performance/function and tissue engineering will be discussed in the case of mammalian cells. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: A basic course in mechanics (ENGR 2530 or BMED 4540, and a basic course in transport phenomena or fluid dynamics (ENGR 2250 or equivalent), or permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall semester annually. Credit Hours: 3
