3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BME 301. The first of a two-semester sequence. It covers the design of electronic circuits for Biomedical applications. This course covers basic operational amplifier circuits as well as the operation of semiconductor diodes and transistors. An introduction to digital logic circuits is also provided. Pspice computer simulation as well as hands-on breadboarding of electronic circuits are used throughout the course to supplement the lectures.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BME 372. A continuation of BME 372 emphasizing biomedical applications of oscillators, active filters, and wave-shaping circuits.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Math 112, Phys 121 and BME 102. Mathematical models of organs and organ systems are described from an engineering viewpoint. Anatomy and physiology are quantified. No biology course is required. Heart and circulation, gas exchange in the lungs, electrical properties of excitable membranes, renal countercurrent mechanism and muscle mechanics are among the topics covered. Emphasis will be placed on feedback control, mathematical modeling and numerical simulation. Effective From: Spring 2006

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Physics 121. A laboratory/studio style course in which the applications of light an electrical energy are explored to study the body s normal surface characteristics and to diagnose medical problems related to aberrations of the surface. Interaction of light with biotissues. Measurement of tissue absorption and scattering. Fiber optics and endoscopy. Basics of laser surgery. Simulation of light propagation in tissues. Same as OPSE 310.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: completion of sophomore year, approval of department, and permission of the Office of Cooperative Education and Internships. Students gain major-related work experience and reinforcement of their academic program. Work assignments facilitated by the co-op office and approved by the department. Mandatory participation in seminars and completion of a report.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Physics 121, Chemistry 126, Mech 320. An introduction to the field of biomaterials. The goal of this course is to understand material selection and the limitations imposed by current materials on device performance. The first part of the course will provide an overview of the current medical devices/implants with respect to their clinical relevance. Subsequently, the structure and properties of metals, ceramics, and polymers will be discussed. Properties include mechanical behavior, thermal, and surface characteristics. The second part of the course will discuss biocompatibility and implant design. Immunological and various histological responses will be described. Material properties of hard and soft tissues, their response to implants and the material selection for such tissues will be discussed.

3.00 Credits
The quantum mechanical origins of spectroscopy, the relationship of spectroscopic behavior to thermal characteristics of a material, and the differences in approach to the chemical and physical characterization of synthetic and biological polymers are discussed. Effective From: Spring 2007
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Math 222. Introduction to basic concepts in thermodynamics and transport phenomena as applied to biological systems. The structure and composition of the body will be covered followed by an exploration of the properties of the blood and its flow in the cardiovascular system, and the body as a heat source and as a series of compartments involved in the mass transfer of materials (such as those in the kidneys and lungs). Design of artificial kidneys and heart-lung machines is also explored.

3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the field of tissue engineering as a therapeutic approach to treating damaged or diseased tissues in the biotechnology industry. In essence, new and functional living tissue can be fabricated by delivering cells, scaffolds, DNA, proteins, and/or protein fragments at surgery. This course will cover the advances in the fields of cell biology, molecular biology, material science and their relationship towards developing novel "tissue engineered" therapies. Effective From: Fall 2006
