BEE 3400 - Design and Analysis of Biomaterials

Spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: thermodynamics course. Pre or co-requisite: mass transport. Satisfies BE capstone design requirement.

M. Ma.

Covers the analysis of different types of biomaterials, synthetic or bio-derived, their synthesis, characterization and applications. The fundamental understanding of biomaterials chemistry and physics at the molecular level is emphasized. Mathematical analysis towards rational design of biomaterials is used throughout the course. In addition, examples from forefront biomaterials research will be used for case studies.

Outcome 1: An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.

Outcome 2: An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.

Outcome 3: An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
