Prereq: BIO 152, CHE 107, MA 214, PHY 241, PHY 242, EM 313.
This course presents an engineering-based approach to study of the biomechanical design and quantitative function of the human musculoskeletal system. The lectures consist of four parts that examine the constituent materials & structures of the musculoskeletal system and then develops engineering approaches, solutions, and interpretations to static and dynamic human joint loading and movements. Course principles are applied in an end of semester student project.
