Biomedical Mechanics and Techniques Laboratory

Catalog description

Experimental laboratory that includes hands-on measurement, computational simulations, and statistical analysis of biofluids, biosolids, and biomaterial phenomena. BME 429 Biomedical Mechanics and Techniques Laboratory (2) This course focuses on three five-week modules whereby students will conduct experiments on biomaterial interfaces, biofluid mechanics, and biosolid mechanics. These experiments will be complimented with computational simulations to enable discussion between the experimental and computational results and appropriate advanced statistics. Students will apply theoretical knowledge from previous core bioengineering/biomedical engineering courses. Examples of some experiments include blood separation, quantifying the flow through a stenosis, and measuring the material properties of bone.
