FINAL EXAM - Thurs, Dec. 20th, 12:30 - 3:30 in F295 HAAS
I have attached the final exam from last year. Please note
however, that this is not representative of the exam this year
because we covered different things at different levels. For
example, I didn't do anything on dimensional analysis as presented
in the associated problem on the old exam.
Also - there are no good problems in the book on imaging so
I have not uploaded any. I suggest that you just go over the notes
and look at the book.
New Homework posted - due Nov. 21

Introduction
This is a new version of the old E153. The main differences
are twofold: first, the class is designed for Juniors to provide
a broader background/perspective to bioengineering, and second,
to be an introduction rather than a capstone type course. The
goal of the course is to give students an understanding about
the breadth of bioengineering. In this way the course should help
bioengineering students decide what areas and courses they would
like to take in the future. For other students, the course goal
is to provide a broad overview of bioengineering.
The course is not appropriate for seniors or graduate students
who already have a background in mechanics.
This is the second year this course is being taught in the
new format. It is essentially a new course. Suggestions and comments
are welcome.
