An interdisciplinary course devoted to detailed study of a topic or current significance in biomedical engineering, such as cellular mechanotransduction, systems biology, and tissue engineering.

This course is an engineering-based approach to the system of ethics relevant to healthcare technology development. The responsibilities of biomedical engineers to patients, employers, and the profession are described and analyzed. Principles from the philosophy of science, the professional practice of engineering, and human subjects protection are presented in the context of biomedical engineering.

Continuous and discrete signals, sampling, Fourier Transform, LaPlace Transform, Z-Transform, correlation and spectral analysis, digital filters.

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.
