Engineering Principles in Physiology is a laboratory-based course exploring physiological concepts foundational to biomedical engineering. Systems covered include the musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory. How the function of these systems can be evaluated and quantified in the context of engineering principles is emphasized through a combination of in-class review and laboratory projects: for example, computational modeling of enzyme kinetics within cells, methods to quantify and evaluate cardiac and respiratory function, understanding fluid mechanics within the cardiovascular system, and action potential propagation in musculoskeletal tissue. The ethical & human-centered responsibilities of engineers working at the medical-technological interface are considered for each topic through case studies and in-class discussion.
