— Comparative Biomechanics
Comparative biomechanics, exploring how animals and other organisms interact with their physical environment. Animal locomotion, form and function of morphological traits, mechanical properties of biological materials, and rules for fluid flow and structural design. Biomechanical concepts through hands-on exercises, quantitative problem sets, and readings from the scientific literature.
