Emphasis is placed on analyzing physiological control systems, but the concepts and design techniques are applicable and applied to a wide variety of other systems including mechanical and electrical systems. Graduate students will have more homework problems and additional exam problems. Prerequisites: juniors with MATH164, MATH 165 and BME 230 or ECE 241 (can be concurrent).
BME 134-1 Material Matters Allen Topolski; Stephen McAleavey
Artists and engineers both engage in the manipulation of matter for a purpose. How do artists and engineers approach this activity? What themes and principles are common to both, and what distinguishes these fields? Hands-on projects investigate both the conceptual and the material production of objects that address intersections of these two broadly based disciplines. Unit projects demonstrate competency in practical skills through the construction of objects that convey meaning and engage with function. This course will weave multiple teaching formats, incorporate peer-led collaborative processes, and involve multiple guests as well trips to Corning Museum of Glass and The Memorial Art Gallery. This course is intended for freshmen and sophomore majors and minors in art or engineering. Permission of Instructor(s) required.
