Undergraduate Courses BIOENG 1220BIOENG 1220 - Biotransport PhenomenaInstructor: Patzer Credits: 3 Term: Fall Description: Biotransport Phenomena explores the similarities between the fundamental principles of momentum, heat, and mass transfer, develops analogies between the fundamentals that apply at microscopic and macroscopic scales, and uses the fundamentals in conjunction with conservation laws to develop mathematical descriptions of physiological and engineering systems. Especial emphasis is placed on identifying assumptions that may be used in developing the mathematical descriptions. The course uses an interactive framework developed through the VANTH (Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Texas, and Harvard-MIT) consortium for biomedical engineering curricula development to explore transport phenomena (momentum, heat, and mass transfer) through a series of interactive modules. Prerequisites: MATH 0250 or 0290, BIOENG 1210 Recommended Texts: R.L. Fournier, Basic Transport Phenomena in Biomedical Engineering, 2nd Ed, 2006. Supplemental Texts:
Course Objectives: Upon completing the course, the student should be able to describe the fundamental principles pertaining to momentum, heat, and mass transport and apply the fundamental principles to set up and solve problems in physiological systems and design of medical devices. Topics Covered: Module topics may include:
