Class Description:
Biomedical applications of computer
modeling using Matlab and/or other academic design
and analysis software.
Emphasis is on applying engineering principles using software packages commonly
used in academics and industry for experimental design and analysis and
mathematical modeling. The objective of this course is to introduce
mathematical and computer modeling and simulation. Students will learn to apply
mathematical methods in modeling physiological and biological systems.
Course Objectives:
By the end of
this course, students should:
1.
Become
familiar with medical and engineering terminology.
2.
Become
familiar with human anatomy and physiology.
3.
