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 295-03 & BME 300-03 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 300-02 Research Methods in Biomedical Engineering
An inquiry into the nature of research with emphasis on the spirit, logic, and components of the scientific methods. Health related research literature is used to aid the student in learning to read, understand, and critically analyze published materials. The preparation of research proposals and reports is emphasized.
BME 300-09 and BME 295-08Computational Cell Biology for Biomedical Engineers
In the last decade, interdisciplinary science has established itself as a leading area of scientific investigation. The use of physics and mathematics to help understand biological systems hints at being one of the major scientific frontiers of this coming century. This course looks at biology at three separate length scales: molecular, cellular, and organismal/population. We will find that the math/physics of elasticity, hydrodynamics, statistical mechanics and reaction/diffusion can explain a broad range of phenomena throughout these size ranges. This course stresses the physical intuition of how to apply quantitative methods to the study of biology through the use of dimensional analysis, analytic calculation and computer modeling.
