First semester of a two-semester degree-program capstone biomedical engineering design project. This project involves team-based application of basic science, foundational engineering, biomedical engineering, personal management and communication skills to actual industrial product, process, or material developments aimed at solving a real contemporary human healthcare challenge.

A holistic approach to engineering problems using computer modeling. Lectures exemplified by real-world problems governed by combined mechanical, electrical, thermal, electrochemical and mass-transport phenomena addressed in an integrated and multidisciplinary manner.

Study of continuous and discrete signal concepts, sampling of analog signals, domain transformation (Fourier, LaPlace, Z- Transforms), and introduction to correlation and power spectrum. Characteristics and design of analog and digital filters. Features of biological signals and systems and biomedical applications. Introduction to non-linear systems.

This course focuses on the relationship between design and entrepreneurship: exploring basic business vocabulary and how design vocabulary and design processes overlap, complement and enhance business operations and opportunities, interact with new venture funding partners, and business plan design and preparation.

In this course, students will learn about several optical techniques that can be applied to the study of disease and specifically, cancer as well as how research methods can be applied in this context. Laboratory exercises are included to give hands-on experience with technology- specific laboratory skills. Throughout the course, students will complete critiques of the research methods, results and conclusions of peer-reviewed journal articles relating to the application of optical methods.

Study of biological and man-made materials that perform, improve, or restore natural functions. Structure and properties of connective tissue and commonly implanted metals, ceramics, and polymers; biocompatibility of materials used in orthopedic, soft tissue, and cardiovascular applications.

Advanced and extended individual research on selected problem of current significance in biomedical engineering.
