Analysis and design of structural members subjected to axial loads, torsion and bending deflection of beams, behavior of columns and transformation of stress and strain.

To give students a fundamental understanding of basic principles in engineering mechanics. Topics include force systems, the principle equilibrium of forces in two and three dimensional space, free-body diagram, centroid and moment of inertia of a solid body, etc. The fundamental principles are applied to solve problems of civil engineering systems, such as beam, truss and frame.

This course aims, from a communicative perspective, to develop in an integrated and meaningful way the fundamental linguistic skills of listening and reading comprehension, and oral and written expression of the Catalan language. Furthermore, emphasis will be placed on lexical and grammatical content always seeking to respond to the communicative and academic needs of the student.

Introduction to the field of biomedical microfluidics and biochips. It covers the fundamentals of microfluidic phenomena and microfabrication. The course also includes the design of microfluidic components and some biomedical applications of microfluidic systems.

This course is intended to serve as an introduction to bioimaging and its applications to medical fields. In this course, the fundamental physical principles behind the four primary medical imaging modalities (X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, and nuclear imaging) will be introduced. In addition, the underlying image reconstruction algorithms will be described. Introduction of each imaging modality will also include the clinical interpretation of images it produces.

This course covers the breadth of drug delivery, from systemically delivered nanoparticles to local drug releasing systems. The course will consider the pharmaceutics of drugs and their disease target, and describe how to engineer drug delivery systems for these scenarios. Mathematical models, clinical examples, industry trends, and emerging research topics will be covered throughout the course.

This course provides an overview of the clinical diagnosis and contemporary treatment of major musculoskeletal disorders. The pathophysiology, epidemiology, and anatomy of the affected biological systems are covered. Students will develop an understanding of the challenges faced by clinicians, research scientists, and medical device manufacturing engineers. We will explore novel therapeutic approaches that integrate engineering and medicine to restore or improve function. Topics will include orthopedic trauma, sports injury, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis.

Material science and mechanical engineering approaches are used to explore the structure-function relationships of natural biomaterials. Principles that govern mechanical behavior are used to discuss design approaches for synthetic bio-inspired and biomimetic materials. The main focus is on structure/function relationships of materials. There is also emphasis on mechanical design and function, with some discussion of cellular interactions.

Indonesian III is the third part of a four-part elementary course sequence in Indonesian. The course format combines independent study with small group conversation sessions and an evaluation by an outside evaluator. Students studying Indonesian develop speaking, listening, and basic literacy skills needed for study abroad in Indonesia and to support course work in Southeast Asian Studies.
