Spring 2025 Lecture Distance Learning Lower DivisionIntroduction to the physiology and medicine underlying practical problems in biomedical engineering, especially with respect to medical device development. Engineering skills taught and practiced within the context of human disease, injury, and illness on extended problem sets which include mathematical modeling and problem solving with appropriate documentation. Main physiological systems of focus are cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal, and common afflictions thereof.
Learning Outcomes1Understand the physiology and medicine underlying practical problems in biomedical engineering, especially with respect to medical device development.
2Understand the process of mathematical modeling of human anatomy and physiology, including technical description of objectives, methods, results, and conclusions from modeling exercises.
