BMEN 668 Orthopaedic Bioengineering (3)
Dr. Anderson. Prerequisites: ENGR 241, ENGR 243, BMEN 312. Concentration
on various engineering aspects of the human knee and the treatment of its
common orthopaedic pathologies. Topics include histophysiology of wound
healing, synovial joint anatomy and tissue biomechanics, knee biomechanics,
osteochondral and ligamentous graft reconstruction, prosthetic ligaments, and
knee arthroplasty with emphasis on the design issues involved and the integration
of clinical practice.
BMEN 681 Advanced Mathematics (3)
Staff. Prerequisite: MATH 221, MATH 224. Vector field theory including line,
surface and volume integrals. Divergence, Green's and Stokes' theorems.
Complex variables. Delta functions. Fourier transforms. Partial differential
equations. Solution of inhomogeneous equations using Green's functions.
Applications to electromagnetics, fluid and solid mechanics.
BMEN 741 Research Methods (3)
Dr. Rice. Methods and resources for experimental studies in engineering science
are introduced. Topics include the nature of scientific inquiry, literature search
and writing techniques, experimental design and control, data analysis and
presentation, and statistical methods. An original proposal is required.
