BIOE 252 BIOENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS Credits 3.00 Spring 2000 Introduction to material, energy and momentum balances in biological systems. Steady-state and transient conservation equations for mass, energy and momentum will be derived using basic mathmatical principles, physical laws, stoichimetry and thermodynamic properties. Required for students intending to major in bioengineering. Prereq- 101,102, MATH 211, BIOS 201, CHEM 211, CAAM 211, or 210. 001 MWF 10:00AM-10:50AM ML*254 TBA *CURRENT ENR: 0 BIOE 400 UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH Credits 1.00 Spring 2000 001 TBA TBA TBA *CURRENT ENR: 0 BIOE 404 GRAVITY AND LIFE:IMPORTANT PROBLEMS IN B Credits 2.00 Spring 2000 Investigation of important problems in biology and bioengineering related to the space program including analysis of the physiological and molecular mechanisms used by living organisms to sense and respond to mechanical stimuli. A multi-instructor, lecture-and-discussion course including professors from Rice University and Johnson Space Center. Crosslisted with BIOS 404 001 TBA TBA Gustin, Michael *CURRENT ENR: 0 001 McIntire, Larry *CURRENT ENR: 0 BIOE 460 INTRO TO BIOTECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES Credits 3.00 Spring 2000 Study of enzyme kinetics, immobilized enzymes, cell cultivation, the stoichiometry of microbial growth and product formation, bioreactor design, agitation and aeration and downstream processing. Also offered as Ceng 460. 001 TTH 10:50AM-12:05PM PL*117 San, Ka-Yiu *CURRENT ENR: 0 BIOE 482 PHYSIOLOGICAL CONTROL SYSTEMS Credits 3.00 Spring 2000 Nervous system control of biological systems can be represented utilizing techniques common to the field of linear, nonlinear or adaptive control theory. This course begins with a review of the basic aspects of control theory, followed by detailed discussion of the structure of several biological systems including the visual, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. Specific examples of neural control are developed for each system utilizing modeling and simulation techniques. Parameter sensitivity analysis and parameter estimation techniques are likewise brought to bear on some of these models to achive good least-squares fits to experimental data. Also offered as Elec 482. 001 MW 01:00PM-02:20PM AL*B209 Clark Jr, John *CURRENT ENR: 0 BIOE 483 INTRODUCTION OF BIOMEDICAL INSTRUMENTATI Credits 3.00 Spring 2000 Review of basic sensors and measurement principles. Includes design problems using operational amplifier circuits (e.g. instrumentation and isolation amplifiers, comparators, timer circuits). Introduction to development of virtal instruments (VIs) using LabView TM. Discussion of micro-and macro-biopotential electrodes, cell cytometry, the measurement of blood pressure, blood flow, and heart sounds, temperature, and the principles of electrical safety (e.g., micro-and macro-shock hazards in the clinical environment). Includes discussion of pulmonary instrumentation and medical applications of ultrasound. Two lab exercises and a term project required. Prereq- Elec 481 or permission of instructors. Also offered as Elec 483/Mech 483. 001 TTH 10:50AM-12:05PM AL*B209 Clark Jr, John *CURRENT ENR: 0 001 Ghorbel, Fathi *CURRENT ENR: 0 BIOE 500 GRADUATE RESEARCH Credits 1.00 Spring 2000 001 TBA TBA TBA *CURRENT ENR: 0 BIOE 544 LASERS IN MEDICINE & BIOENG Credits 3.00 Spring 2000 This course will provide an overview of various types of interactions between lasers and biological tissues.
