Computers in Medicine & Biology

(4 Credits)

Introduces the student of biology or mathematics to the use of computers as tools for modeling physiological phenomena. The student constructs two computer models selected from the following list: circulation, gas exchange in the lung, control of cell volume, and the renal countercurrent mechanism. The student then uses the model to conduct simulated physiological experiments. Enrollment is not permitted for undergraduate students in the Tandon School of Engineering.
