This course will prepare students to participate in a capstone engineering design project. They will learn the ethical treatment of patients, identify and survey the needs of a patient population, identify leading projects, form a design team, discuss human factors issues, and develop an initial strategy for project design.
The application of fluid dynamics theory and design to problems within the biomedical community. Specific topics covered include the mechanics of inhaled therapeutic aerosols, basic theory of circulation and blood flow, foundations in biotechnology and bioprocessing, and controlled drug delivery.
An introduction to the mechanical behavior of biological tissues and systems. Specific topics covered include analysis of the human musculoskeletal system as sensors, levers, and actuators; joint articulations and their mechanical equivalents; kinematic and kinetic analysis of human motion; introduction to modeling human body segments and active muscle loading for analysis of dynamic activities; mechanical properties of hard and soft tissues; mechanical and biological consideration for repair and replacement of soft and hard tissue and joints; orthopedic implants. Prerequisites: ENME 2410, ENME 2520, and ENME 2541.
Special topics in bioengineering as announced. May be taken more than once. Prerequisite: varies with offering.
