  • BME 4064: Biomedical Engineering Capstone Design II

    3.00 Credits
    University of Virginia-Main Campus

    A year-long design project in biomedical engineering required for BME majors. Students select, formulate, and solve a design problem either for a device or system ‘design & build’ project or a ‘design of experiment’ research project. Projects use conceptual design, skills obtained in the integrated lab, and substantial literature and patent reviews. Projects may be sponsored by BME faculty, medical doctors, and/or companies. Students may work on their own with outside team members when appropriate or with other SEAS students in integrative teams.

  • BME 4311: Bioinstrumentation and Design

    3.00 Credits
    University of Virginia-Main Campus

    Introduces transducers and instrumentation systems used in measuring biological variables. Discusses the physical, electromagnetic, and chemical principles of measurement, effects of interfaces between biological systems and sensors, and design tradeoffs. Surveys major electronic circuits and signal conditioning systems for biological and medical monitoring. Laboratory experiments involve construction and characterization of simple transducers, imaging systems, and signal conditioning equipment for biological variables, such as blood pressure, displacement, force, temperature, flow, and biopotentials. Exercises cover conceptual design to detailed design specifications for selected biomedical instrumentation systems.

  • BME 4414: Biomaterials

    3.00 Credits
    University of Virginia-Main Campus

    This course will provide an introduction to biomaterials science and biological interactions with materials, including an overview of biomaterials testing and characterization. The emphasis of this course, however, will be on emerging novel strategies and design considerations of biomaterials. Areas of concentration will include the use of polymers and ceramics in biomaterials today, drug delivery applications, tissue engineering from both an orthopaedic and vascular perspective, and nanotechnology related to biomaterials. Specific attention will also be paid to the in vitro and in vivo testing of biomaterials, and a review of current research in the field.
