Undergraduate ConcentrationsBIOMECHANICS Coordinator: Michael Sacks (msacks@engr.pitt.edu) Students in the biomechanics concentration track are required to take a contiguous sequence of four biomechanics courses that cover the fundamentals of contemporary biomechanics. These courses have been designed to integrate with the undergraduate bioengineering curriculum and span the second half of the sophomore year to the first half of the senior year. In addition to these courses, students can choose 4 elective courses in bioengineering, mechanical engineering, robotics, applied math, biomaterials, cell/molecular biology. The following is a list of those required and elective courses. We have designed the curriculum for a great deal of flexibility, and you can tailor your degree program into sub-specialties such as biosolid mechanics, biomaterials, biodynamics, human factors, rehabilitation technology, and robotics. Hence, it is strongly advised that you contact Dr. Sacks for advice on what specific courses to take and how to arrange your degree plan based on your interests and career plans. All bioengineering students must have a minimum of 3 engineering courses out of the 7 non-core courses (5 concentration courses and 2 engineering/science courses). Required Biomechanics Courses (4 courses)
Electives (4 courses) Choose 4 courses for remaining concentration and engineering/science electives. Note: Course numbers in parentheses are prerequisites. Bioengineering/Biosciences
