Prerequisites: Mathematics through differential equations, freshman biology sequence, first year of physics, thermodynamics (physical chemistry). Course Objectives: At the end of this course the students should be able to do the following: ; Describe the fundamental conservation principles and constitutive laws that govern heat, mass and momentum transport processes. ; Develop the fundamental engineering skills that enable effective expertise for addressing novel biomedical applications including the design of systems that interface with or analyze living systems. Develop the fundamental engineering skills o enable the modeling or analysis of transport processes in living organisms. Required Textbooks: 1 . Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer, 6th Edition, by Incorporate, DeWitt, Bergman and Levine. 2. Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics, any Edition, by Munson, Young and Cockish. Other Useful Textbooks: Bootstrap: Principles and Applications, 1st Edition, Robert Rosella and Ken Dilled. Transport Phenomena, 2nd Edition, Bird, Stewart and Lightproof. ABET Program Outcomes Achieved: 1.
Apply knowledge of biological and physical sciences, mathematics, and engineering to solve problems at the interface of engineering and biology. 2. Identify, formulate and solve biomedical engineering problems that address contemporary issues within a global societal and economic context. 3. Recognize the need to pursue continuing educational opportunities in biomedical engineering and have the ability to do so. Attendance: Required for all class periods. The course is designed for much of the learning experience to occur during the class period.
Student Feedback: take teaching very seriously and want to provide you with information in the most accessible and applicable format. Therefore, in addition to the end of term class evaluations, we will have two other feedback rivers during the term on Blackboard. These will give you an opportunity to raise any concerns and give me a chance to implement some of your suggests. Academic Honesty: I expect you to uphold the highest standards of academic honesty. The class will be highly interactive, and hopefully a lot of fun.
However, any kind of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and severe disciplinary action will be taken. Class Etiquette: am a big fan of technology and collect the latest gadgets; however, there is a place for everything. Any kind of cell phone use will not be tolerated in class. This includes talking on the phone, receiving phone calls, SMS text messaging or even checking voice mall. I am expecting that all of us will keep our phones “OFF”, putting them on vibrate is not sufficient. Grading Format Homework Exam 1 Exam 2 20% If anal Exam 25% project 25% My Policies 1. Ill post the homework online the day they are assigned and collect them in-class one week later. 2. If all the homework assignments for the course are completed, the lowest homework score will be dropped from the final grade. 3. You are encouraged to study together and to discuss information and concepts covered in lecture and the sections with other students. You can vive “consulting” help to or receive “consulting” help from such students. However, this permissible cooperation should never involve one student having possession of a copy of all or part of work done by someone else. . Late homework/final projects will not be accepted. 5. Attendance to these sessions is required. UT Policies An engineering student must have the Dean’s approval to add or drop a course after the fourth class day of the semester. Adds and drops are not approved after the fourth class day except for “good cause”. “Good cause” is interpreted to be documented evidence of an extenuating nonacademic resistance (such as health or personal problems) that did not exist on or before the fourth class day.
