This course will provide and overview of transport phenomena in biological systems that are critical to the function of all living organisms. The fundamental laws and equations of transport phenomena will be applied to topics including cellular, cardiovascular, respiratory, liver and kidney transport, blood flow and rheology, and circulation in tissues and arteries. Students will have homework problem sets, mid-term and final exams. In addition, students will give a presentation at the end of the semester based on a topic related to biological transport that they pick based on their interest. |

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 |

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. |

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. Prerequisites: MTH 161 and 162, BME 101 and PHY 121. |
