MSE 4610

Biomedical Materials and Their Applications

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2017-2018.

Many types of materials are used in biomedical engineering to replace or supplement natural biological systems. Interaction with blood and tissues is always of primary importance, but depending on the use of the biomedical material, mechanical, optical, and transport properties may also be vital. The first half of the class will focus on establishing a common vocabulary and knowledge base in materials, biochemistry, cell biology, and immunology. The second half of the class will focus on a survey of commercially available biomaterials as well as future prospects.

When Offered Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: MSE 3010 or CHEM 3570 or equivalent or permission of instructor.
