Biomechanics.

Catalog description

This course discusses concepts of engineering mechanics including stress, strain, deformation, and analysis of structures with application to biomechanical phenomena over a range of biological length scales. Engineering mechanics concepts are used to evaluate forces and moments acting on human joints, forces in musculoskeletal tissue, material properties of biological tissues, and disease state conditions. Prerequisites: Completion of all Fundamental Skills; ENGR 020 with a “C-“ or better. Prerequisite may be taken concurrently: MATH 057 with a “C-“ or better.
