This course is the continuation of BME 420 and requires students to engage with industry representatives to provide substantive new engineering solutions to practical current healthcare challenges.

This is an elective course for undergraduate students who are interested in learning nano-scale engineering and its applications in biology and medicine. The course covers a broad range of topics in nanobioengineering and nanomedicine, including basic nanoscale phenomena, principles of nanosynthesis, the interactions between nanoparticles and the biological systems including cellular uptake, in vivo pharmacokinetics and nanotoxicity, and the applications of nanotechnology in disease detection and treatment.

Tissue engineering can be defined as the application of principles of engineering, biology, materials science, and medicine to restore, maintain, or improve tissue function. This field evolved from the field of biomaterials development, and the term "tissue engineering" has become largely interchangeable with "regenerative medicine," which also incorporates the research on self-healing.

This course presents an engineering-based approach to the quantitative study of the human musculoskeletal system. Principles involving static and dynamic mechanical analyses will be applied to quantify the forces and moments in human posture and movement. Study of the material and biological properties of the musculoskeletal system is included because they are intimately coupled to the formulation and interpretation of problems in static and dynamic biomechanics.

Detailed investigation of a topic of current significance in biomedical engineering such as: biomaterials, hard or soft tissue biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering, cardiopulmonary systems analysis, biomedical imaging.
