BME 15 - Biomechanics for Mobility and Adaptation

4 unit(s)
Explore the mechanics of the human body through the lens of physics and engineering. This algebra-based course uses real-world movement, simple mechanical models, and laboratory activities to understand how muscles, bones, and joints function as biomechanical systems. Students will apply concepts such as force, torque, energy, and fluid flow to human motion and physiology, with a focus on adaptive technology for mobility limitations.
