BME 22200 Biomeasurements: The foundations of basic circuit theory are covered: voltage-current characteristics of resistive and reactive elements, Ohm's and Kirchoff's Laws, equivalent sources, transformations and superposition, transient response, instantaneous and average power, and AC impedance. Electronic instruments are used in the context of biomedical applications: such as transducers, electrodes and amplifiers, cell cytometry, biopotentials, and medical devices such as heart pacemakers and defibrillators. Laboratory exercises utilize standard equipment and their safe use in the measurement of biologically based signals. Co-requisites: Math 261 and Physics 251
BME 24100 Fundamentals of Biomechanics: This course combines didactic lecture and laboratory and will introduce the student to the principles of biomechanics. Topics include: f undamental concepts of mechanics, force systems and couples, free body diagrams, dynamics of particles and rigid bodies, centroids and centers of gravity; second moments of area and volumes, and basic fluid mechanics. Prerequisites: PHYS 152
