Courses
BME 643 - Biomedical Device Design and Technology Development
Design methodology; recognizing and defining open-ended biomedical engineering problems, problem definition, concept generation, project planning, modelling, analysis, decision making, design synthesis, prototyping and testing. Topics may include identifying market needs, idea generation, biologically inspired design, human factors related to design, regulatory issues, intellectual property protection, clinical trials, and commercialization considerations.
BME 653 - Biomedical Engineering Research Methods and Experimental Design
Introduction to the fundamental principles of experimental design, hypothesis formulation, data collection, statistical analysis, literature search and review, developing a research plan, and scientific communications and reporting applied to bioengineering research. Introduction to the ethical issues encountered in biomedical research with human and animal subjects including informed consent, confidentiality, privacy, and research ethics boards.
MEC E 451 - Mechanical Vibrations
Free and forced vibration of single degree of freedom systems with and without damping, free and forced vibration of undamped multi-degree of freedom systems, vibration of continuous systems, introduction to engineering acoustics. Prerequisites: MEC E 250 and MATH 201.
MEC E 468 - Numerical Simulation in Mechanical Engineering Design
Computer modelling in mechanical engineering. Simulation of mechanisms. Stress analysis and heat transfer using commercial software. Emphasis is on numerical model design including testing and verification methods, and the critical interpretation of the computed results. Credit cannot be obtained in both MEC E 468 and 568. Prerequisites: MEC E 265, 362, 370 or 371, 380, 390.
