Biomechanics

专业详情

The concentration in biomechanics is developed in coordination with the Department of Biomedical Engineering.  It provides the M.S. candidate with knowledge of the mechanics of biological tissues. The 4000-level courses offered in this concentration provide foundations of fluid and solid mechanics applicable to biomechanics, as well as applications of mechanics to specific cell, tissue and organ systems. The higher-level courses provide deeper foundations on theoretical and computational approaches relevant to biomechanics. This concentration is a suitable preparation for careers in the biomedical devices industry or engineering and scientific consulting.
