Course Objectives	The goal of this course is to introduce students the fundamental principles of design, application and optimization of biological engineering. This course is designed to introduce various concepts and the various subspecialties of biomedical engineering as well as the problems that confronting this emerging engineering discipline.
Textbook	Biomedical Engineering: Bridging Medicine and Technology, W Mark Saltzman, Cambridge University Press, 2009
Additional Literature
Learning Outcomes	After successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
	Define biomedical engineering and differentiate among its various subspecialties; Understand what is meant by measurement, precision, reliability and statistical variation; Differentiate the various cellular level principles that determine phenotype, that underlie cell proliferation, and that hold tissues together Differentiate among the physiological principle that underlie the nervous system, endocrine system,cardiovascular and excretory systems; Understand what is meant by biomechanics, bioinstrumentation, biomaterials, and biotechnology; describe their engineering approach and the technology that results from its evolution over time;
Teaching Methods	Assessment concept is based on continuous work with students during the semester. The examinations (quizzes, midterm, projects and final exam) provide the opportunity for the students to demonstrate their understanding of the course material and their ability to apply critical thinking.
