Topics in general biology are discussed from a quantitative point of view to develop an appreciation for biology, mathematics, and the connections between them. Living systems are viewed through an engineering perspective as open systems with mass, energy, and flow entering and leaving. The interaction of the component parts of living systems at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organism, and ecosystem levels are explored through descriptive and quantitative models. Modules will include cellular processes and human physiology. The diversity and evolution of living organisms is explored. Interactions among organisms and with their environment, including toxic substances, are examined in the module on ecology and ecotoxicology. No previous exposure to biology is assumed. A basic understanding of the derivative is assumed, such as may be obtained from a concurrent first semester course in differential calculus. Other relevant mathematical principles are introduced at the beginning of each module.

Senior design courses. Senior design provides, over the course of two semesters, a collaborative design experience with a significant biomedical problem related to human health. The project will often originate with an industrial sponsor or a medical practitioner at a nearby medical facility and will contain a clear implementation objective (i.e. for a medical device). It is a capstone experience that draws extensively on the student’s engineering and scientific background and requires independent judgments and actions. The project generally involves a determination of the medical need, a detailed economic analysis of the market potential, physiological considerations, biocompatibility issues, ease of patient use, an engineering analysis of the design, manufacturing considerations and experimentation and/or prototype construction of the device. The faculty advisor, industrial sponsor or biomedical practitioner works closely with the group to insure that the project meets its goals in a timely way. Leadership and entrepreneurship are nourished throughout all phases of the project. The project goals are met in a stepwise fashion, with each milestone forming a part of a final report with a common structure. Oral and written progress reports are presented to a panel of faculty at specified intervals and at the end of each semester.
