Wednesday and Friday
BME 266-1 Bioprocess Engineering Jason Condon
This course will explore the bioprocesses involved in producing a biopharmaceutical product (therapeutic proteins, cell therapy products, and vaccines). The course will take a stepwise journey through a typical production process from the perspective of a Bioprocess Engineer, starting with cell culture and moving downstream through purification and final fill. Engineering concepts involved in bioreactor design and control, cell removal/recovery operations, and protein purification will be examined. The course will also provide an introduction to the analytical methods used to test biopharmaceutical products for critical quality attributes. The role of the regulatory agencies, like the US Food and Drug Administration, and the regulations that govern the industry will be introduced throughout the course in the context of the bioprocess to which they relate. Students taking the course for Upper Level BME or Graduate credit will need to complete a semester-end project. Pre-rquisites: BIO110, CHM132, CHE243 or ME225, CHE244 or Permission of Instructor
BME 230-1 BME Signals, Sys&Imaging Ross Maddox
Introduction to continuous and discrete time signals and linear time invariant systems, with applications to BME including imaging. Topics include convolution, Laplace and Z transforms, stability of systems, the Fourier series and transform, noise and filtering, and fundamental concepts in image processing and enhancement. Weekly homework assignments are supplemented with labs every other week. Two Midterms and a comprehensive final exam. Prerequisites: BME210 or equivalent and MATH 165.
Thursday
BME 283-3 Biosolid Mechanics Rec Mark Buckley
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.

BME 201-2 Fundamntls of Biomechns-Rec James McGrath
Teaches elementary mechanical equilibrium and motion with extended applications to biology. Lectures present a traditional analysis of idealized particles and rigid bodies. Topics include force and moment balances, frames, trusses and pulleys, systems with friction, mass centers, area moments, and the linear and rotational kinetics and kinematics of rigid bodies. Weekly exercises apply fundamental principles to non-biological problems in two and three dimensions. Weekly problems extend the application to biological problems ranging from human motion to the mechanics of cells. In an end-of-term project students analyze human motion using the MATLAB programming language. This is a required course for BME majors typically taken in the sophomore year. 4 credits.
