Computational Biomechanics. (3-0) 3 Credit Hours

Catalog description

Prerequisite: A grade of "C-" or better in BME 2203 , BME 3373 , and EGR 3423 , or consent from the instructor. This course will provide students with practical knowledge and tools to perform biomechanical analysis through computational modeling. The course applies fundamentals of mechanics of material and the methods of computational modeling such as the finite element method (FEM) to model biological systems and biomechanical components and simulate biomedical phenomena. Examples and problems may be solved analytically and with the use of commercially available FEM software. Some basic knowledge of computer programming is recommended. This course has Differential Tuition.
