Designation:	听听	Required
听听
Description:	听听	Orientation to the University of Toledo, the College of Engineering and the Department of Bioengineering. Topics also include a general introduction to the field of bioengineering, and a survey of engineering computing resources.
听听
Prerequisite:	听听	Acceptance into Bioengineering
听听
Textbook:	听听	Course Units for BIOE 1000: Introduction to Bioengineering D.A. Christensen, R.D. Rabbitt, and A.M. Yamauchi (2004) This coursepack contains all of the course units discussed in the lectures as well as information on the major project.
听听
Objectives:	听听	To learn that Bioengineering is a very quantitative field聽 To learn that engineering principles can be applied to living systems聽 To obtain a realistic view of the Bioengineering curriculum and of the Bioengineering field聽 To demonstrate key principles and engineering concepts taught in various courses throughout the Bioengineering curriculum聽 To help students make an informed decision about whether or not Bioengineering is in line with their skills and interests
听听
Topics:	听听	This course provides a one-semester overview of the biomechanical and bioelectrical aspects of the Bioengineering field. The course is broken down into unit modules that illustrate key engineering principles and concepts. A major project based on the modeling of the cardiovascular system (implemented in MATLAB and PSpice) integrates the course units. Basic units, dimensions, scientific notation聽 Record keeping - the role of a laboratory notebook聽 Darcy's law - pressure driven flow through a membrane聽 Poiselle's law - pressure driven flow through a tube or pipe聽 Hooke's Law - elasticity and stress/strain relationship聽 Starling's Law of the heart, windkessel elements, and conservation of mass/volume聽 Euler's method - first order time constants and numerical solution of differential equations in MATLAB聽 Equilibrium statics and dynamics - muscles, leverage, work, energy, power, force, levers, and moments聽 Ohm's law - current, voltage, and resistance聽 Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws聽 Operational amplifiers聽 Coulomb's law, capacitors, fluid/electrical analog聽 Series and parallel combinations of resistors and capacitors (RCs)聽 Thevenin equivalent circuits and first order RC time constants聽 Nernst potential, cell membrane equivalent circuit聽 Fourier transforms - AC current and frequency domain
