BMEN E3830y Biomedical engineering
laboratory, III
Lab: 4. 3 pts. Instructor to be announced.
Experimental design. Cell adhesion, membrane
transport, osmosis, ultrasound, design of cell
encapsulation and drug delivery system, respiratory
impedance. Selected clinical demonstrations:
body compositions, magnetic resonance imaging,
echocardiography, blood pressure.
BMEN E3910x-E3920y Biomedical engineering
design, I and II
Lect: 1. Lab: 3. 4 pts. Professors Hillman and
Vunjak-Novakovic.
A two-semester design sequence to be taken in the
senior year. Elements of the design process, with
specific applications to biomedical engineering: concept
formulation, systems synthesis, design analysis,
optimization, biocompatibility, impact on patient health
and comfort, health care costs, regulatory issues, and
medical ethics. Selection and execution of a project
involving the design of an actual engineering device
or system. Introduction to entrepreneurship, biomedical
start-ups, and venture capital. Semester I: statistical
analysis of detection/classification systems, development
of design prototype, need, approach, benefits
and competition analysis. Semester II: spiral develop
process and testing, iteration and refinement of the
initial design/prototype and business plan development.
A laboratory fee of $100 is collected each semester.
BMEN E3998x or y, or s Projects in biomedical
engineering
Hours to be arranged. 1 to 3 pts. Professors
Anastassiou, Ateshian, Brown, Das, Guo, Hess,
Hielscher, Hillman, Homma, Huang, Hung, Jacobs,
Kam, Konofagou, Laine, Leonard, H. H. Lu, Mao,
Morrison, Mow, Sajda, Sheetz, Sia, and Vunjak-
Novakovic.
Independent projects involving experimental, theoretical,
computational, or engineering design
work. May be repeated, but no more than 3 points
may be counted toward degree requirements
as engineering technical electives. Requires
approval of instructor prior to registration.
BMEN E4000x or y Special topics
Lect: 3. 3 pts. Professor Jacobs.
Additional current topics in biomedical engineering
taught by regular or visiting faculty. The same subject
matter is not usually considered in different years.
BMEN E4001x Quantitative physiology, I:
cells and molecules
Lect: 3. 3 pts. Professor Jacobs.
Prerequisites or corequisites: CHEM C3443 or
the equivalent and BIOL C2005. Physiological
systems at the cellular and molecular level are
examined in a highly quantitative context. Topics
include chemical kinetics, molecular binding and
enzymatic processes, molecular motors, biological
membranes, and muscles.
