| Course Methodology |
Instruction will follow an interactive lecture style format.
In order to develop an intuitive feel for material behavior,
"hands on" exposure to biomaterial samples and representative
devices will be featured in lectures and laboratories. Three
exams will be given in class consisting of multiple choice,
true and false, short answer and essay questions and will
be closed book. The course is supplemented by a set of laboratory
exercises which is designed to illustrate various practical
aspects of biomedical device design, fabrication and testing.
Those taking the course for gradate credit are required to
complete a term project.
