This course is designed to provide students with detailed knowledge of the principles of nanotechnology and their applications in the biomedical field. Topics of study will include synthesis & assembly of nanoscale structures, lithography, and nanobiomaterials. Students will focus on biomedically-relevant topics such as cancer treatment, bone disorder, diabetes; and learn how nanotechnology is helping diagnose, treat, and understand these medical disorders. Recent innovative research in the biomedical field will be highlighted during discussions of the latest journal articles. At the end of the course, students will have an appreciation of the enormous potential of biomedical nanotechnology, its current, and future applications BUILDING: HYLAN | ROOM: 102 |

|
|
This course introduces students to the theory and practice of control systems engineering. Topics include frequency domain modeling, time domain stability, transient and steady-state error analysis, root locus and frequency response techniques and feedback system design. Emphasis is placed on analyzing physiological control systems, but the concepts and design techniques are applicable and applied to a wide variety of other systems including mechanical and electrical systems. Graduate students will have more homework problems and additional exam problems. BUILDING: MOREY | ROOM: 205 PREREQUISITES: Math 163 or 165, ECE 241 or BME 230 (Can be concurrent) |

|
|
This course will offer students exposure to the intellectual property (IP) and regulatory pathways for new medical innovations. Students will learn the terminology, processes and challenges involved in FDA regulations and the protection of intellectual property for medical innovations. An emphasis will be placed on the ways knowledge of prior art and regulatory barriers can optimize concept selection, and early phase project planning to best identify projects suitable for commercialization. Instruction will include lectures, case studies, guest speakers and integrated assignments that will ask students to explore examples of IP and regulatory challenges, successes and failures. Lectures on regulatory and IP topics will alternate in order to allow students to understand the difficulty presented by balancing these two challenges in the innovation process. Assignments may be tailored to individual students research, design or work concentration areas. BUILDING: SAUND | ROOM: 1412 |
|
BME 452 (ECE 452)

MC ALEAVEY S
TR 12:30PM - 1:45PM
|
|
This course investigates the imaging techniques applied in state-of-the-art ultrasound imaging and their theoretical bases. Topics include linear acoustic systems, spatial impulse responses, the k-space formulation, methods of acoustic field calculation, dynamic focusing and apodization, scattering, the statistics of acoustic speckle, speckle correlation, compounding techniques, phase aberration correction, velocity estimation, and flow imaging. A strong emphasis is placed on readings of original sources and student assignments and projects based on realistic acoustic simulations. BUILDING: MEL | ROOM: 209 PREREQUISITES: BME230 or ECE241 |

In this course, we will survey the role of mechanics in cells, tissues, organs and organisms. A particular emphasis will be placed on the mechanics of the musculoskeletal system, the circulatory system and the eye. Engineering concepts will be used to understand how physical forces contribute to biological processes, especially disease and healing. Experimental and modeling techniques for characterizing the complex mechanical response of biosolids will be discussed in detail, and the continuum mechanics approach will highlighted.

This course provides a thorough grounding on the theory and application of linear steady-state finite element method (FEM) applied to solid mechanics. Topics include: review of matrix algebra and solid mechanics, Principle of Minimum Potential Energy, Rayleigh Ritz Method, FEM computational procedures, isoparametric shape functions and numerical integration for 1D, 2D, and 3D elements, error estimation and convergence, and the demonstration of FEM best practices using a commercial FEM code. A semester project that involves coding FEM software in Matlab is required for graduate students. BUILDING: | ROOM: PREREQUISITES: MTH 164 & MTH 165,ME 226 and ability to program in MATLAB. |
