ENGN 1520 - Cardiovascular Engineering |
In this course, students will learn quantitative physiological function of the heart and vascular system, including cardiac biomechanics and vascular flow dynamics, through lectures and discussion of current scientific literature. A systems approach will integrate molecular biophysics, cell biology, tissue architecture, and organ-level function into a quantitative understanding of health and disease. Discussion topics will include pre-clinical regenerative therapies, stem cell ethics, and clinical trials. Prerequisites (all courses completed or concurrent): calculus, differential equations, mechanics of materials, fluid dynamics, and biotransport.
