ENBI 3010 Intro to Biomedical Eng (4 Credits)

An introduction to biomedical engineering, this course will serve as a survey of the field of study. During the course students will learn to identify a breadth of biomedical engineering problems and also learn about the technical challenges and opportunities that biomedical engineering brings to the life and medical sciences. Topics may include biomechanics, tissue engineering, medical imaging, bioinsturmentation, and medical device design.

ENBI 3500 Biofluids (4 Credits)

The application of fluid dynamics theory and design to problems within the biomedical community.
