Introduction to Biomechanics (EGR361 (UG20))
Term: Fall 2020 (UNDG)
Schedule
Tue-Thu, 12:15 PM - 1:45 PM (8/24/2020 - 11/24/2020) Location: MAIN (VRTL SYNC - Classroom Lecture)
Description
The course introduces biomechanical principles and their application from a quantitative and rehabilitation perspective. Primary topic areas will include kinematics and kinetics of human movement including modern measurement techniques in human movement science. A model-based description of the mechanical behavior of biological tissues and how biomechanical and neural factors interact in human movement will also be introduced. Labs will provide the student with an understanding of fundamental techniques used in biomechanical analyses and rehabilitation engineering design and development. Prerequisites: BIO 153 and EGR 242.
