Reminder
The MS Degree requirements include a total of 9 credits of GRAD 395. It is best to take 3 credit hours each semester until the degree requirements are met.
The Ph.D. Degree requirements include a total of 15 credits of GRAD 495. It is best to take 3 credit hours each semester until the degree requirements are met.
BME 320 Courses (Independent Study) are listed under Peoplesoft. If a faculty name does not appear, please inform Dr. Enderle at jenderle@bme.uconn.edu.
BME 295 (Special Topics in Biomedical Engineering) and BME 299 (Independent Study in Biomedical Engineering) are available. Please see an instructor in the program if you have an interest in one of these courses.
Course Descriptions
Course descriptions are provided here for only those courses with a temporary course number such as BME 300-XX. Undergraduate and Graduate course descriptions are provided at the BME website under either the BS Degree Program Description or the Graduate Program Handbook.
BME 300-01
Drug Delivery
Current methodologies used in drug delivery, including aerosol technologies, polymeric controlled release systems, genetic/viral based delivery systems, and implantable devices, will be covered. Mathematical techniques for modeling design, delivery, and release of drugs will also be covered.
BME 300-05 Mechanics of Life
The interplay between molecules, cells, and their viscous surrounding are important in determining physical behavior at the micro- and nano- scales. Mechanics at the micro- and nano-scales can be different from mechanics at the macroscale. Therefore, quantitative engineering, chemical and physical principles will be applied to understand the molecular mechanics associated with the function of these molecules. Particular emphasis will be placed on understanding the molecular mechanical behavior of proteins that form the cytoskeleton and proteins that act as motors. Scale-dependent mechanical behavior will be studied as it applies to understanding cellular mechanics.
BME 300-06
Tissue Biomechanics
This course focuses on the application of solid mechanics to describe the mechanical behavior of soft biological tissues, both native and engineered. The course will introduce the tools necessary to model soft tissues, including the essential mathematics, kinematics of deformation and motion, stress, constitutive relations. The basic biomechanics principles will be learned and reinforced by identifying, formulating and solving problems related to tendon, cardiac and vascular tissues. Experimental methods and computational techniques on simulating tissue functions will also be introduced.
