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.

The proposed course will explore the unique challenges and opportunities associated with designing medical devices to be used in two types of communities: one in the middle of the jungle in Peru and the other near the Greater Rochester Area. Former officers from the Peruvian Ministry of Health will set the context of healthcare in Peru and its rural areas, whereas experts from URMC will explain about healthcare in Upstate NY and its low-resource settings. During the course, students will work with communities nearby Rochester and in the Peruvian jungle to identify and propose solutions to their needs related to lack of access to health. Furthermore, UR students will collaborate with Peruvian students from “Proyecto de Biodiseño”, a BME course at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru (PUCP).
