Introduction
to Biomedical Engineering and Instrumentation
Introduction to principles and techniques
for biomedical measurements. Includes amplifiers, electrodes, bioelectric
events, clinical lab, rehabilitation devices, and safety.
Biomedical
Signal Processing
Application of analog, digital, and statistical techniques to the processing
of biomedical signals. Includes sources, recording, and analysis of ECG, EEG,
EMG, and evoked potentials.
Biomaterials
Engineering
Basic material
properties of metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites. Application to medical
science, including prosthetics, implants, and artificial organs.
Biomedical
Engineering Internship
The student will receive
supervised instruction in a biomedical design setting (hospital, graduate
research lab, biomedical industry, overseas service/missions organization).
Required of all students in the biomedical concentration between their junior
and senior year.
Biomedical
Engineering Seminar/Workshop
A concentrated
experience in biomedical specialty directed by a visiting scholar. Offered
each semester. Students are required to participate in two workshops during
their junior and senior years.
Biological
Control Systems
Control system
properties and analysis; time and frequency response; stability; digital control
systems; and application to living systems.
Introduction
to Biomechanics
Engineering
mechanics as applied to bone, muscle function, blood flow, and cell deformation
analysis. Historical overview of biomechanics, exercise biomechanics and physiology;
and neurological motor control with regard to human movement. Computer modeling
of several human biological systems.
Musculoskeletal
Biomechanics
The musculoskeletal
analysis of human movement; theoretical modeling and experimental verification
in the biomechanics laboratory. Detailed understanding of relationships between
ground reaction forces, electromyogram, and movement data.
Biomedical
Engineering Design I
Application of design principles
to a biomedical engineering project. Includes specifications, formal proposal,
design processes and decisions, and preliminary design.
Biomedical
Engineering Design II
Completion of the project initiated in Biomedical Engineering Design I.
Final design, fabrication, testing, and reporting.
