BE 260W - Biomedical Engineering Materials

3 credit(s)
Materials analysis as related to biomedical engineering. Structural properties of materials, current practices, and laboratory experiments to determine the properties of materials used in biomedical engineering. Materials examined include metals, plastics, and biological materials. Topics include the molecular structures of these materials and mechanical properties, such as tensile, compressive, torsional, and fatigue, as well as other properties. Statistical methods are presented. The course consists of one lecture and one lecture/laboratory per week. Student groups meet with instructor each week outside of class to review laboratory journal-style report drafts. This is a writing intensive course.
