Engineering 373 - Seminar: Skeletal Biomechanics

Knowledge of the mechanical and material behavior of the skeletal system is important for understanding how the human body functions and how the biomechanical integrity of the tissues comprising the skeletal system are established during development, maintained during adulthood and restored following injury. This course provides a rigorous approach to examining the mechanical behavior of the skeletal tissues, including bone, tendon, ligament and cartilage. Engineering, basic science and clinical perspectives are integrated to study applications in the field of orthopaedic biomechanics. Prerequisites: EGR 375. Enrollment limited to 12. Junior and senior Engineering majors only.

[CE] EGR/EGN majors only; JR/SR only; Prereq: EGR 375
