Course Descriptions
BME 460
Advanced Biomaterials
Continuation of biomaterials applications
to tissue and organs. Novel
applications of materials to replace
living tissues and organs, such as
skin, blood vessels and heart valves
will be considered. Prerequisite:
BME 310. (3-0-3)
BME 470
Engineering Biocompatible Materials
This course aims to describe synthetic
materials that are routinely used
as components of various medical
devices implanted in the human body.
Students will critically examine prosthetic
materials used in specific
devices. The biological environment
relevant to the discussed implant will
be reviewed. Problems with current
materials will be analyzed. Strategies
and techniques required to engineer
sophisticated biomaterials for future
applications will be developed.
Prerequisites: BIOL 107, BIOL 109,
BIOL 115, BIOL 117. (3-0-3) (C)
BME 475
Neuromechanics of Human Movement
Concepts from mechanics and neurophysiology
will be introduced and
employed to analyze and model
human movement, especially of the
extremities. Topics will include forward
and inverse kinematics and
dynamics, muscle modeling, and
feedback control. Prerequisites: BME
330, BIOL 115. (3-0-3)
BME 482
Mass Transport for Biomedical Engineers
This course seeks to provide students
with an introduction to advanced
concepts of mass transport with an
emphasis on biological systems.
Students will be exposed to derivation
of the conservation equations for
heat, mass, and momentum.
Following derivation of these laws,
focus will be placed on mass transport
applications, including diffusion,
convection-diffusion, diffusion with
reactions, and facilitated diffusion.
Students will be able to apply mass
transport equations to solve problems
in biological systems.
Prerequisites: CHE 202, BME 301.

BME 491
Independent Study
Focused reading and study under the
supervision of a BME faculty member.
A final written report is required
to receive credit. Prerequisite:
Consent of instructor. (Credit: 1-3
credit hours) (C)
BME 492
Undergraduate Research
Independent research (experimental
or theoretical/computational) under
the supervision of a BME faculty
member. A final written report is
required to receive credit.
Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
(Credit: 1-3 credit hours) (C)
Business
BUS 100
Introduction to the Profession
Introduction to business as a profession.
Topics include the role of business
in our society, career opportunities
in business, the interface
between business and technology,
business ethics, and communication
skills. (1-2-2) (C) (E)
BUS 205
Business Basics
The course will provide a basic introduction
to accounting and marketing
principles, two of the core business
skills that every entrepreneur, engineer,
or scientist involved with new
product introduction needs. It is
intended for engineering, science and
architecture students who are not
taking a business minor. This course
would not count towards a business
degree or business minor. (3-0-3)
IIT Undergraduate Bulletin 2006–2008
BUS 210
Financial and Managerial Accounting
Basic financial and managerial
accounting topics: GAAP, the major
financial statements, accrual
accounting, financial reporting alternatives,
financial statement analysis,
cost behavior, cost systems, shortand
long-term decision-making and
product costing. Formerly ACCT 151.
(3-0-3)
BUS 211
Financial Accounting and External Reporting
Introduces the three major financial
statements: The Balance Sheet, the
Income Statement, and the
Statement of Cash Flows. The course
emphasizes the difference between
cash flows and income. Emphasis is
placed on understanding financial
statements and the procedures
underlying them rather than on the
preparation of such statements.
Accounting software will be used to
facilitate the preparation of statements.
(3-0-3) (E)
BUS 212
Managerial Accounting and Control
The sequel to BUS 211, this course
concentrates on the uses of accounting
information within an enterprise
for the following purposes: product
costing; short-term and long-term
decision-making; budgeting; control
of operations; and performance evaluation.
The major topical areas covered
are cost-volume-profit relationships,
relevant costs, cash flow forecasts,
flexible budgets and standard
costs. Prerequisite: BUS 211. (3-0-3)

Statistics for Managerial Decision Making
Introduction to probability concepts;
descriptive statistics; probability distributions
(binomial, Poisson, normal
and t) and their applications.

intervals, hypothesis testing and
sample size determination); simple
regression and correlation.
