Class Description:
Biomedical Engineering Lab 1 incorporates the implementation of experiments in biomechanics and biomedical fluid dynamics. Topics include:
Course
Objectives: By the
end of this course students should be able to 1.
Conduct experiments involving transport, mechanics and
instrumentation. 2.
Apply multivariable calculus and
differential equations to the design and execution of experiments. 3.
Develop and demonstrate an ability to make measurements on
and interpret data from living systems. 4.
Develop skill in the use of modern
engineering tools 5.
Analyze and interpret data. 6.
Address problems associated with the interaction between
living and non-living materials and systems. 7.
Utilize analytical and experimental methods and modern computer
technology for decision-making and to solve realistic biomedical engineering
problems. 8.
Work effectively with others in a team while
simultaneously maintaining independent and creative thought. 9.
Communicate effectively and to articulate technical matters
using verbal, written, and graphic techniques. Points
Distribution: Report Grading Criteria: Technical Content 60% Figures, Equations, Tables 30% Spelling and Grammar 5% Style (impress me points) 5% Course Grading Criteria: Experimental Summary Reports 70%
Short Engineering
Report 30% Attendance is mandatory and will be taken in writing before class begins. Late arrival will mean 5% will be deducted from your report. If you miss a lab there will be no make up. The instructor will retain copies of graded lab reports. Lab reports must be turned in two weeks following the experiment, reports must be turned in as hard copy and electronically in MS word format, by disk or e-mail with graphics embedded in the file. Software assignments may be turned in as prints outs and text files. Late lab reports will not be accepted. Grading is done on an equally weighted line, D- gets 1 point, and A+ gets 12 points. Averages are to the nearest point, rounding is 1.5 rounds to 1, 1.51 rounds to 2. Completion of FIU’s online laboratory safety
training will be required of all students. You may register for these on the
Environmental Health and Safety Web
site at http://www.fiu.edu/~ehs/safety_training/training_course_list.htm The courses completed shall be: 2.

5.
Research
Involving Animals Items 1 through 4 are accessible through
http://www.fiu.edu/~ehs/safety_training/training_course_list.htm Item 5 is accessible through
http://www.dsrt.fiu.edu/animalsubjects/animal_subjects.htm All students shall earn a certificate in each before
they may participate in laboratory experiments. Evidence of completion shall
be a print out from the training website showing mastery of the course
material. A certificate will be mailed
to me by EH&S or DSRT after completion of the courses. I will copy the certificate for my files
and deliver the original to the students.
This certificate may be used may be used at this or other institutions
as evidence of lab safety training. Tentative Course Outline: __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Five laboratory exercises will be performed from the following list: Blood Rheology· Determination of hematocrit. · Viscometry of blood
