BioE102: Introductory Biomechanics
This (junior level undergraduate) course develops and applies the
methods of continuum mechanics to biomechanical phenomena over a
range of length scales, from cell to tissue and organ levels.
BioE104: Biological Transport Phenomena
This course develops and applies scaling laws and the methods of
continuum mechanics to biological transport phenomena over a range of
length and time scales. It is intended for undergraduate students who
have taken a course in differential equations, and an introductory
course in physics. Preliminary understanding of biology and
physiology is useful but not assumed. Example application areas
include biomolecular transport in biological tissues, living organs,
and in biomedical microdevices.
BioE112: Molecular Cell Biomechanics
This (senior level undergraduate) course develops and applies scaling
laws and the methods of continuum and statistical mechanics to
biomechanical phenomena over a range of length scales, from molecular
to cellular levels.
