3.00 Credits
A studio-based course with several projects that serve as the primary learning scaffold. Projects will be supplemented by lectures and readings. Topics include biomimetic design (why nature and humans design differently), sensors (touch, stereo and position), actuators (muscles, smart materials), and intelligent (neural and computer controlled) systems.
-
3.00 Credits
A design approach to biomechanical devices. The integration of biologically-inspired design with computational and electromechanical technologies. An exploration of electromechnaical manipulators, haptic interfaces and walking machines as approaches to the design of prostheses and virtual technologies.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Undergraduate or graduate course in biomaterials or materials science (BME 672 or MTSE 320 or equivalent). This course is an introduction to the field of tissue engineering. It is rapidly emerging as a therapeutic approach to treating damaged or diseased tissues in the field of medicine. In essence, new and functional living tissue can be fabricated using living cells combined with a scaffolding material to guide tissue development. Such scaffolds can be synthetic, natural or a combination of both. This course will cover the advances in the fields of cell biology, molecular biology, material science and their relationship towards developing novel tissue engineered materials.

3.00 Credits
The basic principles of medical imaging: physical basis, signal acquisition, image formation and image processing. Image modalities include x-rays, computed tomography CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, positron image tomography (PET), and functional MRI (fMRI).
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Knowledge of mechanics, optics, electromagnetism and general chemistry. Micro- and nanosystems used in advanced analytical techniques for microfluidic devices, implantable chips, noninvasive biomedical sensors, DNA chips and microelectronic array systems. Microelectronic processing design for micromaching and piezoelectric materials for biomedical applications. Biomedical sensors and actuators. BioMEMS active ultrasonic transducers for medical imaging, for micro-valves and for implantable medication delivery systems are studied.
-
3.00 Credits
Neural Engineering focuses on understanding how the brain functions using engineering principles. The course discusses different instrumentation and signal processing algorithms to study how the brain functions, how to detect different pathologies and new applications for research. Topics include; basic overview of neurology, vector populations, neural networks, vision research, functional MRI, functional electrical stimulation, neural prosthetics, and other advanced research topics studying neurology.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: undergraduate course in electronics. Principles and practice of medical instrumentation. Instrument components and medical instrument systems design. Examples taken from electrocardiography, clinical chemistry, medical imaging. Microprocessor-based systems emphasized.
-
3.00 Credits
Selected topics for Biomedical Engineering.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: written approval of project advisor. An extensive paper involving design, construction, and analysis, or theoretical investigation. Joint projects with industry or governmental agencies may be acceptable. Work is carried out under the supervision of a member of the department faculty.
-
6.00 Credits
Prerequisite: written permission from thesis advisor. Projects include design, construction, experimental or theoretical investigation of the engineering applications to the diagnosis and/or treatment of disease. Research may be in cooperation with industry or medical institutions. Completed work should be of sufficient quality to be acceptable for publication. Oral presentations are required.
