New Course: BME 206. Biomedical Eng. Lab IIEngineering Faculty Document No. 18-03 Page 1 of 2 TO: The Engineering Faculty FROM: The Faculty of the Department of Biomedical Engineering RE: New Undergraduate-Level Course The faculty of the Department of Biomedical Engineering has approved the following new course. This action is now submitted to the Engineering Faculty with a recommendation for approval. BME 206 Biomedical
Engineering Laboratory II Sem. 2. Lab. 3, cr. 1. Prerequisite: ME 270, BME
205, or equivalent Corequisite: BME 204,
MSE 230 Provides hands-on training in engineering
and biological principles of biomaterials and biomechanics. Biomaterials
topics include crystal structure, deformation of materials, and materials
defects. Biomechanics topics include rigid body equilibrium, gait analysis,
finite element analysis, and loading/modeling of hard and viscoelastic
biomaterials. Physiological systems addressed include the musculoskeletal
system, nerves, spinal
cord, and vascular tissue. Reason: This
course provides important laboratory experiences where students are exposed to
fundamental concepts and techniques in both biomaterials and biomechanics. This
course is the second of two George Wodicka Professor and Head Engineering Faculty Document No. 18-03 Page 2 of 2 Supporting Documentation:
