BMEN 1025 - Computer-Aided Design & Fabrication
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2021 / Spring 2022 / Fall 2022 / Spring 2023 / Fall 2023 / Spring 2024
Introduces engineering drawing techniques through modern computer aided design (CAD) software, and fabrication of some of these designs. The course will begin with an introduction of spatial visualization skills, then an in-depth introduction to Solidworks, an industry standard CAD software tool, along with introduction to fabrication processes including laser cutting, and 3D printing. Additional topics include geometric design and tolerancing techniques and design for manufacturing.
BMEN 2010 - Biomaterials
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2021 / Spring 2022 / Spring 2023 / Spring 2024
Introduces the science and engineering of biomaterials, with an emphasis on biomechanical aspects. Addresses the design, fabrication, testing, applications and performance of synthetic and natural materials that are used in a wide variety of biomedical prosthetics, implants and devices. In addition to attending lectures, students will conduct a laboratory experiment and a case study. Recommended restriction: for students in fourth semester of Biomedical Engineering curriculum or higher.
BMEN 3030 - Bioinstrumentation
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2022 / Spring 2023 / Spring 2024
This course will provide an overview of instrumentation systems used in clinical medicine and biomedical research. Systems for measuring biologic signals will be discussed including biopotentials, stress and strain, pressure, temperature, and optical properties to interpret data from living systems. There will be applications to engineering design, including a semester-long design project that incorporates the interactions between living and non-living systems. There will also be discussion of ethical and regulatory issues related to bioinstrumentation. Recommended restriction: for students in sixth semester of Biomedical Engineering curriculum or higher.
BMEN 4117 - Anatomy and Physiology for Biomedical Engineering
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2022 / Fall 2024
The main objective of this multidisciplinary course is to explore human physiological function from the viewpoint of an engineer. It provides an introduction to human anatomy and physiology with a focus on learning anatomical structures, biological signaling, physiological and pathological conditions, as well as fundamental biomedical engineering concepts that apply quantitative analyses (mass transfer, fluid dynamics, mechanics, modeling) and engineering concepts (e.g., device design to restore defective physiological functions) to understand physiology and pathology. Recommended prerequisites: BMEN 2010 or BMEN 3010 or MCEN 2024 or MCEN 3021 or MCEN 3022 or ASEN 1022 (all minimum grade C-). Degree credit not granted for this course and MCEN 4117 or MCEN 5117. Same as BMEN 5117.

GEEN 1400 - Engineering Projects
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2020
First-year students solve real engineering design problems in interdisciplinary teams. Design projects vary by section. Curriculum focuses on iterative design process, teamwork and team dynamics, supporting design with testing and analysis, and technical writing. Completed projects are exhibited at an end-of-semester design expo. Students are responsible for contributing towards their design project budget, workshop costs, and course arduino kit (approximately $125). Degree credit not granted for this course and ASTR 2500, ASEN 1400, ASEN 1403 and ECEN 1400.
