A. Datta.
Introduction to simulation-based design as an alternative to prototype-based design; modeling and optimization of complex real-life processes for design and research, using industry-standard physics-based computational software. Emphasis is on problem formulation, starting from a real process and developing its computer model. Covers biomedical processes in thermal therapy and drug delivery that involve heat transfer, mass transfer, and fluid flow. Computational topics introduce the finite-element method, pre- and post-processing, and pitfalls of using computational software. Students choose their own semester-long biomedical project, which is the major part of the course (no final exam).
Outcome 1: Students will apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to define and solve problems in computer-aided engineering: applications to biological processes.
Outcome 2: Students will improve their ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
Outcome 3: Students will demonstrate the intention and ability to engage in life-long learning.
Outcome 4: Students will gain proficiency in use of the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
Outcome 5: Students will improve their capacity to integrate modern biology with engineering principles.
