BE 4510 - Biomechanics and Biomaterials in Human Movement

(4)

Provides an overview of the biological, mechanical, and neurological mechanisms that guide human movement. Students are introduced to recent innovations and applied methods that build on these fundamentals along with applied clinical and field techniques to measure and evaluate movement for various applications, such as rehabilitation, robotics, and elite performance. The materials covered in this course will be of interest to biomedical researchers and engineers looking to apply their technical skills to solving biomechanical problems. Also covers research design topics including factorial experimental design and ethical conduct in biomechanics research. The course will culminate with a project proposal designed to apply analysis techniques to real world human movement problems.
Additional Requirement(s): Bioengineering majors only
Prerequisite(s): BE 3899
