BMEN E3820y Biomedical engineering
laboratory, II
3 pts. Lab: 4. Professor Kyle.
Statistical analysis of experimental
measurements: analysis of variance, power
analysis. Circuit implementation of nerve
conduction, alginate bead formation, mechanical
testing and optical strain analysis, galvanotaxis,
image segmentation and analysis of cells,
computer aided design, library resources.
BMEN E3830x Biomedical engineering
laboratory, III
3 pts. Lab: 4. Professor Kyle.
Experimental design. Cell adhesion, membrane
transport, osmosis, ultrasound, design of
cell encapsulation and drug delivery system,
respiratory impedance. Selected clinical
demonstrations: body compositions, magnetic
resonance imaging, echocardiography, blood
pressure.
BMEN E3910x-E3920y Biomedical engineering
design, I and II
4 pts. Lect: 1. Lab: 3. Professors Hillman and Kyle.
A two-semester design sequence to be taken in
the senior year. Elements of the design process,
with specific applications to biomedical engineering:
concept formulation, systems synthesis,
design analysis, optimization, biocompatibility,
impact on patient health and comfort, health care
costs, regulatory issues, and medical ethics.
Selection and execution of a project involving the
design of an actual engineering device or system.
Introduction to entrepreneurship, biomedical
start-ups, and venture capital. Semester I: statistical
analysis of detection/classification systems
(receiver operation characteristic analysis, logistic
regression), development of design prototype,
need, approach, benefits and competition analysis.
Semester II: spiral develop process and testing,
iteration and refinement of the initial design/
prototype, and business plan development.
BMEN E3998x or y Projects in biomedical
engineering
1–3 pts. Hours to be arranged. Members of the
faculty.
Independent projects involving experimental,
theoretical, computational, or engineering design
work. May be repeated, but no more than 3 points
of this or any other projects or research course
may be counted toward the technical elective
degree requirements as engineering technical
electives.
