Course Goals / Objectives:
Provide basic anatomical and physiological knowledge in many organ systems from a BME perspective. Focus will be given to ones most likely to be important for the student’s future career and those that are innately relatable to most people.
Present students with ample opportunities to learn how to self-educate, a skill set that will be necessary for success in any career path. This will include how to identify quality primary and secondary sources.
Exposed to common/rare pathologies so they are familiar with potential applications of their engineering skills; appreciate the interconnectedness of the human body; and acknowledge that there are many facets (not just biological) to any condition.
Begin to develop other important professional skills such as team-work, oral presentation skills, and patient empathy
Apply standard anatomical terminology related to direction, planes, body cavities, and motion
Identify samples from common imaging modalities and select/justify which modality is most appropriate for certain tissues and pathologies.
Describe the essential cellular units, tissue structures, and function of bone, joints, muscle, the nervous system, cardiovascular system, and pulmonary system.
Name the macro components of the upper arm, forearm, and abdomen and list general function.
Solve basic mathematical models of the human body and apply new parameters to predict function.
Find and evaluate credibility of information sources (from biomedical or peer-evaluated sources) &Summarize how at least 1 pathology changes organ form and function as well as how biomedical engineering has been used to provide diagnosis or treatment
