Physics and Engineering is
the application of engineering principles
and methods to the solution of problems in
medical and biological areas. Current efforts
in biomedical engineering include the development
of medical and surgical instrumentation systems,
the design of rehabilitative devices, the
interfacing of complex systems in data collection
and analysis, and the adaptation of computer
technology to assist the health care industry.
Primary
faculty interests include:
Medical
imaging
Human
factors engineering
Rehabilitation
engineering
Biomechanics
Biomaterials
Medical
instrumentation
Mathematical
modeling and computer simulation.
Exercise
and rehabilitation physiology involves interdepartmental
cooperation. It has direct relevance to
the patient populations who participate
in development of instrumentation, visual
performance and aerospace systems applications.
Note:
A PhD
in Biomedical Engineering is available
as well as the Biomedical Sciences PhD described
here.
