Design of systems to pump, heat, cool, dry and control biological materials as part of food and Biological Resources Engineering. Study the effect of physical parameters on biological material response to these processes. Study of biomedical instrumentation and biomedical equipment technology. How biomedical equipment is used to measure information from the human body. Various techniques to identify and measure nonpoint source pollution.
Primary focus is on agriculture and water.
Two lectures and one laboratory per week. Principles of control systems designed by biological engineers and analysis of control mechanisms found in biological organisms. Apparent control strategies used by biological systems will be covered. Two lectures and one laboratory per week. Describes responses of biological systems to external stimuli, including temperature, water, atmosphere, light chemicals social interactions, and others.
