Biomedical Engineering: Health and Human Physiology

2 Credits.

In this course, upperclassmen “lab managers” will work with a team of first year students to (1) guide students through four physiology modules. These modules (respiratory, cardiovascular, neural, musculo-skeletal) require completion of both mathematical and experimental assignments (2) guide students to identify examples of health care inequity (3) discuss ethical consideration in design and society (4) introduce first-year students to the many opportunities available at JHU including the Life Design Center, BME focus areas and design and research opportunities (5) complete modules on professional development skills. Lab managers are expected to prepare for each module by watching pre-recorded videos, completing the module quiz, and attending sessions with the faculty and TAs. They are expected to attend one 2-hour lab section with the first year students every week.
