Overview of the application of engineering principles to problems in living systems and human healthcare. Fundamental anatomy and physiology for engineers. Quantitative measurement and analysis of the structure, function, and control of biological systems. Required for students pursuing a minor in biomedical engineering.

Survey of biomedical engineering foundations and constraints. Terminology, anatomy/biology/physiological, engineering/math/science/statistics essentials, engineering constraints imposed by financial, regulatory, governing agencies, and strategies for successful biomedical engineering practice.

This course reviews the fundamental scientific principles in biomedical instrumentation, links these principles to key engineering parameters quantifying metrics of human wellness, and introduces students to the instrumentation permitting empirical measurement of these parameters. Lectures supplemented with laboratory experiences.

This course is supplemental to PRD 320 Product Design Studio III and discusses advanced concepts of ergonomics with respect to product design. Students will create 2D and 3D studies of situations requiring a diagrammatic understanding of human factors and ergonomic issues. Students will learn how to conduct a range of usability tests to evaluate and improve ergonomic conditions. Projects from PRD 321 and other studio courses within the College of Design will serve as case studies for analysis and application of course content.
