BME 40200 Senior Seminar: BME 40200 explores career and professional topics in Biomedical Engineering. Topics include resume writing, interviewing, and professional conduct; post-graduate education and life-long learning; and industrial, clinical, and research opportunities in Biomedical Engineering.
BME 40400 Ethics for Biomedical Engineers: BME 40400 explores ethical issues in biomedical engineering practice, including professional ethics, medical ethics, the ethics of human and animal subject use in biomedical research, and the impact of biomedical engineering solutions on society and the environment. The BMES Code of Ethics will be presented and discussed.
BME 41100 Quantitative Physiology: BME 41100 is an introductory course in physiological systems and an introductory course in classical feedback control theory for biomedical engineers. It aims to apply systems theory and classical feedforward and feedback control in the context of physiological systems. Approximately a third of the course will be devoted to physiological systems, a third to classical control theory and a third to the application of classical control and systems theory to physiological systems.
BME 44200 Biofluid and Biosolid Mechanics: BME 44200 explores fluid and solid mechanics in the context of the human circulatory system. Principal equations are derived from differential analysis of fluid flow, and models of characteristic flow conditions are fully analyzed. Biosolid mechanics, vessel biomechanics, and hemodynamic analysis of the circulation system will also be discussed.
BME 46100 Transport Processes in BME: BME 46100 explores diffusion, heat and mass transfer, and transport processes in biological systems. Mathematical models of diffusion and transport are developed and applied to biomedically relevant problems including arterial transport, microdialysis, artificial kidney design, and sustained drug delivery.
BME 49100 Biomedical Engineering Design I: BME 49100 prepares students for engineering practice through a major design experience, encompassing conceptualization, requirements generation, and system and detailed design. Essential design constraints will be reviewed and applied including: safety, economic, and manufacturability. The course encompasses lectures, case studies, team formation, project assignments and generation of initial design.
BME 49200 Biomedical Engineering Design II: BME 49200 continues the design experience from BME 49100 with verification, validation, and re-design of student projects. Regulatory and ethical design constraints will be discussed. Oral presentation and report writing are required.
