Spring 2025 Distance Learning Lecture Upper DivisionThis course covers key topics in bio-micro-electro-mechanical systems (BioMEMS) and micro-integrated systems. Properties of useful materials will be discussed in context to BioMEMS. Micro-electronics process modules used in the design and fabrication of BioMEMS and micro-integrated systems will be presented. Applications of these systems in a variety of medical practices will be discussed in detail.
Learning Outcomes1Apply advanced engineering principles to model, solve, or analyze biomedical engineering problems.
2Formulate appropriate and quantitative design specifications and evaluate potential design solutions in terms of realistic constraints.
3Describe the challenges associated with interactions between bio-MEMS devices/strategies and living biology to address current unmet clinical needs.
