This course pack is used in a sophomore level biomedical engineering class. The course focuses on the application of computer-based numerical and graphical display skills for solving problems relevant to biomedical engineering. Areas of application are based on prior knowledge of biology, mechanics and mathematics, including differential equations, and will help students to develop skills for finding in silico solutions for in vivo problems. Video tutorials to accompany the Finite Element analysis of a total hip replacement (Chapter 6), collagen gels (Chapter 7) and pulsing blood flow in a tube (Chapter 8) are available in the associated iTunesU course, Numerical Simulations in Biomedical Engineering.
