4.00 Credits
Application of mechanics to the study of normal, diseased, and traumatized musculo-skeletal system. Areas covered include determination of joint and muscle forces, mechanical properties of biological tissues, and structural analysis of bone-implant systems. Case studies are discussed to illustrate the role of biomechanics and biomaterials in the design of implants. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ENGR 2050, BMED 2200. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
3.00 Credits
A guided approach to development of design skills. Students work individually and in teams to tackle a biomedical design problem using methods drawn as necessary from engineering and from the physical and mathematical sciences. Discussion sessions involve students in presentations of work. This is a writing-intensive course. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: senior standing. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 3

3.00 Credits
This course teaches the use of engineering principles to describe cellular processes of biological, chemical, and physical nature. A quantitative approach will be used to explain the behavior of cells under various physical stimuli through the application of the laws of physics, mathematics, and physical biochemistry. The transduction of these physical stimuli into modified behavior and their impact on organ level performance/function and tissue engineering will be discussed in the case of mammalian cells. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: A basic course in mechanics (ENGR 2530 or BMED 4540, and a basic course in transport phenomena or fluid dynamics (ENGR 2250 or equivalent), or permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall semester annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the basics of subsurface sensing and imaging; properties of probes such as optical beams, x-rays, ultrasonic waves and electromagnetic waves. Physical interaction of probes with various media-transmission, reflection, attenuation, scattering, diffusion, fluorescence. Contrast agents and molecular sensing/imaging systems. Biomedical and security applications. Extracting information from subsurface signals using multi-view tomography (MVT), localized probing and mosaicing (LPM), and multi-spectral discrimination (MSD). Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: ECSE 2410 and ECSE 2100. When Offered: Spring Credit Hours: 3

3.00 Credits
Application of continuum mechanics in modeling the biomechanical behavior of nonmineralized tissues such as tendons, ligaments, skin, cartilage, blood vessels, etc. Topics include structure of collagen, elastin, proteoglycans, and other tissue components, nonlinear elastic models (including Fung's pseudoelasticity approach and strain energy functions), linear viscoelasticity, Fung's quasilinear viscoelasticity, hereditary integral formulation of constitutive equations, and introduction to mixture theory.When Offered: Fall term odd-numbered years. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Structure-property relationships for mineralized connective tissues of the human body. Discussion centers on various types of bone (e.g., lamellar, woven) with an emphasis on models for biomechanical behavior. Topics include elastic models for bone (isotropic and anisotropic), theories of yielding and fatigue, strength properties, composite and hierarchical models, and models of bone remodeling/modeling. When Offered: Fall term, even numbered years. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
The principles of convective diffusion in liquids are discussed as applied to the vascular circulation. Topics include: convective and diffusion boundary layers in internal flows with reacting and/or permeable walls, Taylor dispersion, microhydrodynamics of macromolecules and particles, Brownian motion, mass transport to arterial walls and across cell membranes. This course is intended for first year graduate students in Biomedical Engineering and undergraduate seniors with permission of the instructor. When Offered: Spring term, even-numbered years. Credit Hours: 3
