Biomechanics Major
 The Biomechanics track includes rigorous education in mechanical engineering within the interdisciplinary framework of the curriculum. This includes courses in materials, metallurgy, thermodynamics, fluids, transport phenomena, and design. This curriculum, which includes courses on electrical circuits and computers, supports interests focused on biomechanics and biomaterials. In the senior year the curriculum features intensive biomedical instrumentation design and computer laboratories emphasizing modern experimental applications. In addition, the senior year capstone design course places the student on a multidisciplinary team in order to solve an actual industrial design problem.
Biomechanics Curriculum
Students starting the program in the FALL of 2008 or later: please refer to the curriculum listed in the undergraduate bulletin from your freshman year.

*The three core electives must satisfy the University Core Requirements in the following four Knowledge Areas: Diverse Cultures (DC), Histories of Cultures and Societies (HCS), Individual and Social Behavior (ISB), and Literature/Performing Arts (LPA). Therefore, one of the three must be a "dual application" core course as described in the section on University Core of Common Studies. See this section for lists of acceptable courses.
