BE 3910 - Physiology and Biotransport Joint Laboratory1 lecture hours 2 lab hours 2 credits
Course Description
The objective of this laboratory is to present students with real-world biomedical engineering problems that overlap the fields of biotransport and physiology. Students will look at problems/laboratories from a joint perspective which will enable students to solve multi-disciplinary problems. (prereq: BE 2200 ) (coreq: BE 3510 , BE 3110 )
