Basic Information about the course:
This course is a comprehensive survey of the multi-disciplinary field of biomedical engineering (BME). This course is intended (1) to provide a broad perspective
of the role that biomedical engineers play and (2) to serve as the engineering foundation for subsequent, more advanced courses in biomedical engineering.
When taught:
This course will be offered every semester as a sophomore-level required course for all BME students. I, as well as other BME faculty, will rotate teaching this course.
Prerequisites:
BIO 205L, 211 and 212; CH 302; PHY 303K; Co-registration for M 427K
Course Objectives:
Biomedical applications from electrical, chemical, and mechanical engineering perspectives will be discussed in both descriptive and quantitative terms. The
overall goals of this course are to instill physical intuition regarding basic biological systems and to allow students to develop an appreciation for how
engineering and mathematics can be applied to the analysis and constructive manipulation of biological systems and the development of biomedical therapies.
