Description

Material, energy, charge, and momentum balances in biological problems. Steady-state and transient conservation equations for mass, energy, charge, and momentum will be derived and applied to mathematically analyze physiological systems using basic mathematical principles, physical laws, stoichiometry, and thermodynamic properties.

Class meets Tues/Thurs 11:00-12:20pm in 2101 Everitt Lab

Expected Outcomes

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives

Expectations:

The broad objective of this course is to enable students to learn to analyze processes, understand essential features and model the dynamic behavior in complex biological systems. Fundamnetal quantitative techniques and methods of biochemical analyses will be described. Examples will be provided to illustrate how the fundamentals of engineering analysis may be applied to explain and predict the function of human systems and life processes. Specifically, students will be able to

  1. Conduct proficiently various engineering calculations
  2. Identify important information in biological systems
  3. Describe the biological phenomena visually, i.e. diagrams, in terms of “systems”
  4. Set up idealized models under a set of justified assumptions
  5. Apply conservation and accounting equations to models to describe them mathematically
  6. Analyze the results to justify the accuracy or relevance of obtained expressions
  7. Demonstrate proficiency by analyzing real-life biological/physiological processes
