Course Goals / Objectives:
Learn to apply engineering principles in the biomedical context.
Build community/network with peers, instructors, and the BME department.
Gain awareness of career options by connecting course content with job titles, skills, and various pathways for BMEs.
Appropriately define and describe systems in biomedical engineering contexts (ABET SLO 1).
Implement the methodology for solving engineering problems (assemble, analyze, calculate, finalize) to setup and solve problems within the biomedical engineering context (ABET SLO 1)
Analyze biomedical devices using conservation of mass and/or momentum; use analyses to propose device design improvements (ABET SLO 2).
Evaluate the interactions between humans and biomedical devices (e.g., assistive devices for arthritis and cobalt hip implants) using knowledge of biology and/or physics (ABET Program b).
