Applied Biomedical Engineering

AMME4981

Computer simulation is a very important aspect of engineering in general, and biomedical engineering specifically. This is because it overcomes the problems of clinical, ethical, and design considerations involved in testing early prototypes on live subjects. This unit of study will take a project-based-learning approach to the topic of computer simulation and design optimization of biomedical devices through lectures and facilitated design work and group seminars. The primary focus will be on finite element modeling, and biomedical implantable devices. After some weeks of lectures on these topics, students will form into teams and use computer simulation techniques to develop and optimize their design. Projects are to be conducted in collaboration with companies in the biomedical industry, and it is anticipated that students will spend a significant amount of time with their host company. It is anticipated that students will gain detailed knowledge not only in the design topic assigned to them, but also in the topics assigned to their peers.
