Biomechanics

Catalog description

Biomechanics introduces students to the engineering science of human movement. As such, biomechanics requires knowledge of anatomy, physiology, physics, and mathematics. The course is designed to help students develop the knowledge and skillset to understand and apply mechanical engineering to qualitative and quantitative problem solving and rigid body movements. The course also evaluates skeletal muscle in terms of its role as primary mediator of mechanical, musculoskeletal movement. Course Fee Applies. Prerequisites: PHY 201, BIO 213, BIO 214. (Offered every Spring semester.) Credit: 4.
