BME in Everyday Life

Catalog description

This course focuses on how biomedical engineering technologies are used in everyday life. The objective is to develop an understanding of the clinical need for these technologies, and past and current solutions to meet these clinical needs. Topics covered include artificial organs, tissue engineering, brain-control interfaces, and immunoengineering. For each medical condition being addressed, biology physiology, and anatomy concepts will be applied in the context of biomedical engineering technology. This course is suitable for non-engineering majors who have an interest in biomedical engineering.
