-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Thesis, guided by a faculty advisor, based on work conducted in BioE 132, 142, 242, or in ENG 211, 212. Includes written report and oral presentation. Prerequisite BioE 242 or ENG 212 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Mechanics and physics of the components of the cell, ranging in length scale from fundamental biomolecules to the entire cell. The course covers the mechanics of proteins and other biopolymers in 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D structures, cell membrane structure and dynamics, and the mechanics of the whole cell. Prerequisites Math 205, Math 231, and Phy 13/22 or 21/22, or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
The course will review the material selection process as well as various methods of shaping metals and ceramics and controlling their desired bulk and surface physical properties for biomedical applications. Special attention will be paid to the microstructure development during materials shaping, processing and service since microstructure is linked directly to the final material physical and chemical properties (strength, fatigue, corrosion, and biocompatibility). Real life examples of design and fabrication of medical devices such as dental, orthopedics implants, filters for kidney dialysis as well as stents will be discussed. Understand of the biomaterials physical and chemical functionality in these applications will be made a core objective of the course. Other current research topics will be discussed. Prerequisites BioE 110 or MAT 33, or consent of instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
Experiments in design and analysis of bioelectronics circuits, micropattering of biological cells, micromanipulation of biological cells using electric fields, analysis of pacemakers, instrumentation and computer interfaces, ultrasound, optic, laser tweezers and advanced imaging and optical microscopy techniques for biological applications, Prerequisites Phy 13/22 or Phy 21/22 and ECE 81 or Phy 190, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of advanced fluid dynamic principles to physiological systems with emphasis on micron sized structures such as pulmonary airway/alveoli, small blood vessels and biological cells. Introduction to advanced topics relevant to the human body including a) oscillatory and transient flows in the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems b) non-Newtonian flows, c) surface tension driven flows, d) fluid-structure interactions, and e) cellular fluid mechanics. Prerequisites Math 205, ME 231 or an equivalent introductory fluid mechanics course, Math 231 or instructor permission.
-
3.00 Credits
Biosafety, sterilization, media formulation, biochemical and enzyme assays, recombinant DNA technique, protein and DNA isolation and purification, for microbial fermentation and animal cell culture. Integration of biotechnology techniques for biopharmaceutical production. Prerequisite BioE 110, ChE 341, and permission of instructor.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Special topics of study in bioengineering. Permission of Instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
Basic concepts of bioengineering design through experimental designs and procedures involving cells and tissues and their interface with synthetic implants. Experimental techniques include surface characterization and interactions, spectroscopy, and advanced techniques in microscopy. Nerve action, electrocardiography, mechanics of muscle, membranes and other model systems in vitro. Prerequisite BioE 110, and permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Physical principles of biomolecular and cellular organization.
