230 Biological Engineering (3)

An introductiory course that examines biological systems from an engineering viewpoint using engineering models. The student is introduced to friendly computer tools to model system behavior of first and second order systems and the effects of diffusion. The tools are then used to study neuron models in terms of diffusion, charge drift and the Einstein relation, ion pumps, membrane potential and the Goldman equation. The tools are then used to study closed loop models of human muscles, eye movements and the body's thermoregulation system. Prerequisites: Math 210 and some computer programming skills
