Biomechanics Track - Ph.D. Degree:

PURPOSE:

The Biomechanics Track in the School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences (SBES) will provide the student with an extensive background in the study of mechanics as it relates to the human body. Specific topics include:

Musculoskeletal biomechanics
Impact Injury biomechanics
Cardiovascular biomechanics
Biofluids
Bio Heat Transfer
Biomechanics in the work environment
Bioinstrumentation

REQUIREMENTS:

Research Requirements: Masters Degree students are required to complete a thesis as part of their degree requirements. Doctoral students are required to complete a Doctoral thesis as part of their degree requirements.

Course Requirements: Each Masters Degree student must take 2 of the courses offered below to be considered in the Biomechanics Track. Each Ph.D. degree student must take 3 of the courses listed below.

BIOMECHANICS TRACK COURSES:

SUGGESTED COURSES FOR BIOMECHANICS SPECIALITIES:

Biomechanics is a broad area with diverse research specialties ranging from musculoskeletal biomechanics to biofluids. Following are a set of suggested courses grouped by research specialization. The list below should be used as a guideline for course selection, rather than a set of required courses. Final course selection should be made in consultation with the student’s advisor and committee.
