BME 220 Introduction to Biomechanics
Introduction to Biomechanics (3). BME 220. Introduction to Biomechanics (3) This course focuses on the stress strain characteristics of musculoskeletal system. Course will involve fundamental concept of vectors, internal and external forces, functional anatomy, and work and energy paradigm. In addition, students will also learn about kinematics and dynamics of human movement, viscoelasticity, and failure analysis from classical mechanics. Course will also include joint and muscle movements, fractures and failures. Students will be involved in current development in the field through scientific discussions, presentations/seminars, and paper. Prerequisites: BME 200 consent of instructor.
