Following an initial lecture on biomedical engineering and how it is studied, specific examples of BME-related research and development from chemical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, mechanical engineering, and optics are presented. Biological Systems Engineering. A quantitative, model-oriented approach to physiological systems is presented. Topics include the cell and its chemistry, muscle and nerve tissue, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the renal system, and a variety of neural systems. Senior capstone design course in the Biomedical Engineering Program.
Students work in teams to design, build, and test projects in biomedical engineering.
Progress reports, a written final report, and a final oral presentation of the project are required.
