-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHY 202 with a C- or better; MAT 128 with a C- or better Introduction to biomedical engineering through critical thought and analysis of unique engineering problems. The conservation laws of mass, energy, and momentum will be developed and applied to identify and define problem systems, formulate appropriate relationships, and solve problems found in the diverse field of biomedical engineering.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 185, CHE 202, BME 251 Control and integration of physiological function of the systems of the human body. Study of structure and function of systems, and homeostatic mechanisms in health and disease. Overview of sensory and biological control systems.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CHE 202, ENG 212, BME 222 This laboratory is an introduction to mechanical, chemical and electrical measurements and instrumentation relative to biomedical engineering and physiological applications. Experimental design, data analysis techniques, statistical analysis and the interpretation of results are emphasized. BME 323 Introduction to Biomaterials 1 course unit (with design hour) Prerequisite: CHE 201 and BME 222 or MEC 251 Introduction to metal, polymeric, ceramic, and biological materials used in medical devices and surgical implants in humans. Topics are anticipated to include those highlighted below. This course includes a fourth 'design hour' that meets weekly. In this design hour, students are engaged in one or more intensive group experiences that require the extended mentoring and contact time with the instructor. First, a degradable biomaterial will be analyzed to introduce analytical techniques and reporting methods. Second, a semester-long design project will synthesize course learnings into analysis, design, and evaluation of a single device.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BME 311 and BME 313 Analysis of physiological systems through measurement of human physiological signals. Reaction time, biological potentials (ECG, EMG) and cardiopulmonary responses will be explored as a function of appropriate variables, including body position, gender, and exercise. Communication through written and oral presentation using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis will be emphasized.
-
4.00 Credits
(same as MEC 343) (with design hour) Prerequisite: BME 222 or MEC 251 Comprehensive study of structure, function, and mechanical properties of biological soft and hard tissues. Topics include joint and tissue mechanics, analysis of tissue remodeling, fatigue and fracture resistance, and mechanical properties of skeletal tissue.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ENG 342 and BME 251 Basic properties of fluids in motion. Lagrangian and Eulerian viewpoints, material derivative, streamlines. Continuity, energy, angular and linear momentum equations in integral and differential forms. Applications in biofluids and biomedical devices; Rheology of biological fluids.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BME 311 Continuation of BME 311, with an emphasis on integrative function within and between systems.
-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of instructor and department For advanced students wishing to pursue a special area of interest. Topic(s) developed in consultation with a faculty advisor.
-
4.00 Credits
(same as MEC 423) (with design hour) (fall semester Prerequisite: CHE 201 Introduction to metal, polymeric, ceramic, and biological materials used as surgical implants in humans. Topics include acute and chronic biological response to implants, degradation of artificial materials, artificial organs, and medical devices. Consideration of ethical issues.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BME 333 Corequisite: BME 473 An advanced practical laboratory experience directed in the utilization of noninvasive physiological recording techniques, including electromyography and electrocardiography systems for human data. Experimental design and statistical analysis of recorded data will also be covered.
