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.
