3.00 Credits
Provides overview of the BME discipline and major sub-disciplines (biomechanics, genetic engineering, tissue engineering, bioelectricity, imaging, cellular engineering, computational systems biology), covers conceptual and detail design processes, and introduces quantitative tools utilized throughout the BIOM curriculum. A major focus of the class will be formulation and execution of a design project. (Y) Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisite: CS 101, PHYS 142, and ENGR 162, or instructor permission. Credits: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Studies how excitable tissue, nerves and muscle, and the cardiovascular and respiratory systems work. Focuses on understanding mechanisms, and includes an introduction to structure, an emphasis on quantitative function, and integration of hormonal and neural regulation and control. (Y) Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisite: CHEM 151 and PHYS 241E, or instructor permission. Credits: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the physiology of the kidney, salt and water balance, gastrointestinal system, endocrine system, and central nervous system, with reference to diseases and their pathophysiology. (Circulation and respiration are covered in the fall semester course, BIOM 201). (Y) Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisite: BIOM 201 or instructor permission. Credits: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the fundamentals of cell structure and function, emphasizing the techniques and technologies available for the study of cell biology. A problem-based approach is used to motivate each topic. Divided into three general sections: cell structure and function includes cell chemistry, organelles, enzymes, membranes, membrane transport, intracellular compartments and adhesion structures; energy flow in cells concentrates on the pathways of glycolysis and aerobic respiration; information flow in cells focuses on modern molecular biology and genetic engineering, and includes DNA replication, the cell cycle, gene expression, gene regulation, and protein synthesis. Also presents specific cell functions, including movement, the cytoskeleton and signal transduction. (Y) Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisite: CHEM 151 or instructor permission. Credits: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Presents the analytical tools used to model signals and linear systems. Specific biomedical engineering examples include multicompartment modeling of drug delivery, modeling of dynamic biomechanical systems, and electrical circuit models of excitable cells. Major topics include terminology for signals and systems, convolution, continuous time Fourier transforms, Laplace transforms, electrical circuits with applications to bioinstrumentation and biosystems modeling, and applications of linear system theory. Students cannot receive credit for both this course and ECE 323. (Y) Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisite: APMA 213, CS 101, and PHYS 142, or instructor permission. Credits: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces techniques for constructing predictive or analytical engineering models for biological processes. Teaches modeling approaches using example problems in transport, mechanics, bioelectricity, molecular dynamics, tissue assembly, and imaging. Problem sets will include (1) linear systems and filtering, (2) compartmental modeling, (3) numerical techniques, (4) finite element/finite difference models, and (5) computational automata models. (Y) Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisite: BIOM 201, BIOM 204, ?BIOM 310, and BIOM 322, or instructor permission. Credits: 3
