BME 33100 Biosignals and Systems: This course applies mathematical analysis tools to biological signals and systems. Frequency analysis, Fourier and Laplace transforms, and state equations are used to represent and analyze continuous and discrete-time biosignals. Classic feedback analysis tools are applied to biological systems that rely on negative feedback for control and homeostasis. Prerequisites: MATH 262, BIOL K101 and BME 22200
BME 33400 Biomedical Computing: This course explores computational approaches to analyzing biological data and solving biological problems. Students will fit and interpret biological data, apply probabilistic and differential equation modeling techniques to biological processes, and assess numerical tools for biomedical applications. Special attention is given to the built-in analysis functions of MATLAB. Prerequisites: MATH 261, MATH 262, and ENGR 19700
BME 38100 Implantable Materials & Biological Response: BME 38100 combines biomaterials, their biological response, and interactions between implantable materials and biological systems. Materials science of implantable materials; overview of implantable biomaterials and interactions between implants and biosystem; in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility tests; and specific examples on implant-tissue interactions, biocompatibility, and evaluation tools are presented. Prerequisites: BIOL K101, CHEM C106
