BME 401Numerical Simulations in Biomedical Engineering

3 credits · Biomedical Engineering · Penn State

Integration of design theory and finite element analyses for the development of solutions to problems in biomedical engineering. BME 401 Numerical Simulations in Biomedical Engineering (3) Biomedical engineers develop novel devices and models to facilitate patient-specific diagnosis and care. The main goal of this course, therefore, is to help students learn how to use computational modeling software as a means to apply theoretical engineering and biological principles to solve problems in medicine and biology. The course will also focus on integration of ethics and design by continually identifying where ethical decision making and health needs of global populations influence design decisions.
