    Biomedical Engineering Fundamentals II applies fundamental laws of physics and chemistry to the analysis of biological systems and the design of biomedical devices. This second semester covers both biomedical and bioelectrical laws and principles. A major physiological modeling project (e.g. cardiovascular or auditory) ties many of the course's topics together. This class also has a required lab component to explore the course content in a hands on context. Prerequisites: "C" or better in (MATH 1220 OR MATH 1320 OR MATH 1321) AND PHYS 2210. Corequisites: "C" or better in PHYS 2220.

    Signals are essential for both internal coordination and external monitoring of the functions of the body. This course covers the analytical and computational tools used for representing, manipulating, and interpreting signals. Emphasis will be placed on practical application in biomedical sciences, including the origins of biological signals, the physiology of human hearing, and the interpretation of biological images. Prerequisites: 'C' or better in (MATH 2250 AND (PHYS 2220 OR PHYS 3220)) AND Full Major status in Biomedical Engineering. Corequisites: 'C' or better in BME 3301.

    This 2-credit course follows a curated design project introducing the applied engineering and practical hands-on skills required to design, develop, and manufacture a 'thing.' It provides an applied introduction to design thinking, digital design, and fabrication, exploring topics in computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacture (CAM), computer-aided electronics (CAE), numerically controlled (NC) machining, laser cutting, 3D printing, molding and casting, PCB manufacture, embedded programming, and network communications. Students will learn how to envision, prototype, and document a project with hands-on experience with modern digital design and fabrication tools and software. The course emphasizes a process of 'good' design practices and workflows to provide students with a solid foundation of skills and experiences that can be applied beyond the tools and software introduced in the course. The course aims to develop technological, communication, collaboration, and project management skills. Prerequisites: Full Major status in Biomedical Engineering

    This course teaches students to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to cellular and systems physiology, including function, dysfunction, and the mechanisms that underlie treatment. The course also addresses professional and ethical responsibility associated with the development, testing, and implementation (or withholding) of biomedical devices or treatments. Associated laboratory modules teach students to design, conduct, and analyze experiments, and to use the techniques, skills and tools necessary for engineering practice. Topics this semester include the nervous system, striated and smooth muscle, and respiratory, renal, and cardiovascular systems. Prerequisites: "C" or better in (BME 3301 AND (CHEM 2310 OR CHEM 2311)) AND Full Major status in Biomedical Engineering.
