Mount Union’s biomedical engineering major provides an experience that stems from its “Four Pillars of Exceptional Engineering Education.”
Featured Courses
Biomaterials
The study of materials (synthetic and natural) that are used in contact with biological systems. Essential introductory knowledge about biomaterials selection, design, limiatations imposed by the technology, and host environment will be presented.
Biomechanics
This course involves the analysis and design of musculoskeletal systems. Basic principles of mechanics, stress, strain, tensor analysis, and elastic solids will be applied to analyze structure and material properties of biological tissue such as skin, tendon, ligament, bone, and cartilage.
