Engineering 351 - SEM: INTRO/BIOMEDICAL ENGINEER

There are countless challenges in medicine that engineering can help to address, from the molecular scale to the level of the entire human body. This course will introduce students to engineering problem solving approaches to explore important biomedical questions. We will integrate our learning of underlying biological systems with developing engineering thinking to examine those systems. We will use mathematical tools to interpret and model the behavior of various biological phenomena. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to identify open medical needs and propose ways in which engineering can contribute to understanding and meeting those needs. Prerequisites: PHY210 or permission of instructor. Enrollment limited to 15.

Instructor Permission. Limited to juniors, seniors.
