MEC E 460 - Design Project I

3 units (fi 8)(FIRST, 2-1S-4)

Part 1 of the Capstone Design Project. Working in teams, students will undertake a feasibility study and detailed design of a project which requires students to exercise creative ability, to make assumptions and decisions based on synthesis of technical knowledge, and in general, devise new designs, rather than analyse existing ones, and test prototypes for performance and durability. Prerequisite: MEC E 360, Corequisite: ENG M 401.

BME 530 - Topics in Biomedical Engineering

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Individual sections covering such topics as signal processing and rehabilitation engineering. Prerequisite: consent of Instructor.

EN PH 131 - Mechanics

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-1S-3/2)

Kinematics and dynamics of particles; gravitation; work and energy; linear momentum; angular momentum; systems of particles; introduction to dynamics of rigid bodies. Prerequisites: MATH 100 or 117, and ENGG 130. Corequisite: MATH 101 or 118. Restricted to Engineering students. Other students who take this course will receive 3 units.

MEC E 485 - Biomechanical Modelling of Human Tissues and Systems

3 units (fi 8)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Biomechanics; mechanical characterization of biological tissues using elastic and viscoelastic models. Rheology of blood and flow properties. Static and dynamic analyses of selected physiological systems. Application of biomaterials in external and internal prostheses. Prerequisites: BME 320 and 321; MEC E 300, 362, 380; and MEC E 330 or 331. Credit cannot be obtained in both MEC E 585 and 485.
