Integrated Biostructural Mechanics Laboratory

3 Credits

This laboratory course provides experience with instruments, assays & techniques used in biomedical industries and research. Labs connect students to real-world bioengineering applications relevant to the biomedical device, diagnostics, tissue engineering and biopharmaceutical industries. Students gain experience in commonly used analytical techniques, microscopy and mammalian cell culture techniques, and examine the interaction of living and non-living materials. Applications include cell biomechanics, mechanical testing of materials, microfluidic devices, drug delivery, tissue engineering, kinematics of human movement and other current topics. Prerequisites: BIOE 110
