Physiological Systems in Biomedical Engineering
Duration
13 weeks
About the course
Objective
To provide a mathematical description and modeling of the behavior of physiological systems significant to biomedical engineers.
Scope
-
Provide in-depth exposure to "excitable cells" (the cells that are found in human cardiovascular, neural, and muscle systems).
-
Provide an introduction to the mechanisms and principles that are operating in physiological systems.
-
Provide training and practice in the use of mathematics, engineering concepts, and programming to describe physiology.
