Undergraduate Courses BIOENG 1150BIOENG 1150 - Bioengineering Methods & ApplicationsInstructor: Borovetz, Debski, Gilbertson, Patzer, Roberston, Sacks, Vorp Credits: 3 Term: Description: This class will illustrate the basic principles taught in three core bioengineering classes: BIOENG 1064/1630 (Biomechanics: Prinicples and Applications; BIOENG 1210 (Bioengineering Thermodynamics); and BIOENG 1220 (Biotransport Phenomena). The class will involve a weekly 2.5 hour laboratory experiment and a weekly 75 minute recitation related to the above course curricula. Prerequisites: BIOENG 1210, BIOENG 1220, BIOENG 1630 Required Text: Course materials will be provided by the instructors as part of the individual lab exercises. Course Objectives: The objectives of this course are to provide hands-on experience to the students in areas of bioengineering covered in the core curriculum. This laboratory is conducted in a dedicated space with dedicated facilities. Topics Covered: Mass transport in intraluminal and cross-flow membrane oxygenators and dialysis systems; 4 point bending of bone using a uniaxial strength testing machine; biomechanical characterizations of blood vessels and tissue valves; and VO2MAX testing to evaluate oxygen utilization and energy expenditure. Class/Laboratory Schedule: The class will involve a weekly 2.5 hour laboratory experiment and a weekly 75 minute recitation related to the above course curricula. |
