Course Goals / Objectives:
Students will be confident with the implementation of de-novo code and numerical methods to solve BME problems.
Students will identify their own preconceived limitations on coding and learn how to tackle them.
Students will understand the utility of coding as a necessary and important skill for problem solving.
Students will recognize that real-world BME problems are open-ended and complex.
Students will be able to develop and execute MATLAB programs to graph and visualize biologically relevant data (ABET 2).
Students will be able to develop and execute MATLAB programs to find numerical solutions for sets of linear and non-linear algebraic equations describing biological phenomena.
Students will be able to develop and execute MATLAB programs to find numerical solutions for differential equations describing biological phenomena (ABET 1, B)
Students will be able to perform parameter estimation using MATLAB to approximate equations describing biological phenomena (ABET 1, B)
