BEE 3400 - Design and Analysis of Biomaterials

Spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: BEE 2220. Pre or co-requisite: BEE 3500.

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: Students will apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to define and solve problems in the design and analysis of biomaterials.

Outcome 2: Students will demonstrate the ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.

Outcome 3: Students will improve their ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
