BME 505:Biomaterials
Intended as an introduction to materials science for biomedical engineers, this course first reviews the materials properties relevant to the their application to the human body. It goes on to discuss proteins, cells, tissues, and their reactions and interactions with foreign materials, as well as the degradation of these materials in the human body. The course then treats various implants, burn dressings, drug delivery systems, biosensors, artificial organs, and elements of tissue engineering. Laboratory exercises accompany the major topics discussed in class and are conducted at the same time. |

BME 423:Senior Design I
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. |

BME 600:Strategies and Principles of Biomedical Design
A successful approach to product development and design in the field of medical technologies requires a highly interdisciplinary approach. This course reviews the regulations, protocols, and guidelines which must be met in each discipline, and describes how these issues are inter-related and how the affect design and product development. Marketing, Regulatory, IP and Clinical aspects are all considered in the technical aspects of design. |

| | Experience & Service | |
| | General Information | Most recently, she has held executive positions in sales and business development for several medical device companies focused on drug delivery technology and surgical techniques for orthopedics and interventional cardiology. Hazelwood has worked closely with surgeons and area hospitals in a clinical setting, and has collaborated on numerous projects with medical device companies. She received her doctorate in Biomedical Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology. Her research emphasis is in Sports Medicine and Tranlational Research, focusing on the development of efficacious medical devices and physiologic methods which improve public health, espcially obesity prevention and pain management. Her successes include the clinical use of several developments for minimally invasive evaluation, earlier stage detection of disease, and assistive technologies for the handicapped. She joins the Chemical, Biomedical, and Materials Engineering Department as Associate Program Director and Industry Professor. |
