Biomedical Engineering (BME)
See ELC 5351 for course information.
See ELC 5353 for course information.
A quantitative approach to the function and performance of cardiovascular elements, including ECG signal generation, blood flow rheology, and ventricular/vessel wall mechanics. Principles of measurement instrumentation including Fick dilution, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging are explored. Major implant types, as well as FDA submission pathways, are examined.
Introduction to the interdisciplinary nature and broad scope of biomedical engineering. Topics covered will include biomechanics, biomaterials, biosensors, biomedical instrumentation, bioinformatics, prosthetic devices, and other biomedical engineering areas.
An investigation into the methods of computer modeling and simulation for the study of human musculoskeletal biomechanics.
Project-based introduction to medical device design and evaluation. Topics include: clinical needs finding, design criteria generation, basic anatomy, design evaluation, prototyping, regulatory process, intellectual property, and validation process. Students work in teams on real medical problems and serve on committees to provide guidance for the project teams on either intellectual property or regulatory standards.
