ENGI 8153

Provides an introduction to various topics in biomedical engineering including ethical standards for biomedical engineering practice, medical imaging and their engineering applications, biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system, motion capture and analysis, nervous system and brain-computer interface, biofluids, as well as biological and bioengineering materials. It also discusses engineering applications in biofluids (e.g. endovascular stents), and in biosolids (e.g. implants and joint prosthesis) concluding with challenges related to biological response and biocompatibility.
