BIOE 460 INTRO TO BIOTECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES Credits 3.00 Spring 00
Study of enzyme kinetics, immobilized enzymes, cell cultivation, the
stoichiometry of microbial growth and product formation, bioreactor design,
agitation and aeration and downstream processing.

BIOE 482 PHYSIOLOGICAL CONTROL SYSTEMS Credits 3.00 Spring 00
Nervous system control of biological systems can be represented utilizing
techniques common to the field of linear, nonlinear or adaptive control theory.
This course begins with a review of the basic aspects of control theory,
followed by detailed discussion of the structure of several biological systems
including the visual, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. Specific examples
of neural control are developed for each system utilizing modeling and
simulation techniques. Parameter sensitivity analysis and parameter estimation
techniques are likewise brought to bear on some of these models to achive good
least-squares fits to experimental data.

BIOE 483 INTRODUCTION OF BIOMEDICAL INSTRUMENTATI Credits 3.00 Spring 00
Review of basic sensors and measurement principles. Includes design problems
using operational amplifier circuits (e.g. instrumentation and isolation
amplifiers, comparators, timer circuits). Introduction to development of
virtal instruments (VIs) using LabView TM. Discussion of micro-and
macro-biopotential electrodes, cell cytometry, the measurement of blood
pressure, blood flow, and heart sounds, temperature, and the principles of
electrical safety (e.g., micro-and macro-shock hazards in the clinical
environment). Includes discussion of pulmonary instrumentation and medical
applications of ultrasound. Two lab exercises and a term project required.

and cellular levels. Emphasis will be on engineering aspects of physiology.
001 TBA Staff Enr: 0 Max: NA
BIOE 620 TISSUE ENGINEERING Credits 3.00 Spring 00
This course will focus on cell-cell interactions and the role of the
extracellular matrix in the structure and function of normal and pathological
tissues for the development of (1) strategies to regenerate metabolic organs
and repair structural tissues, and (2) cell-based therapies to deliver proteins
and other therapeutic drugs. Issues related to cell and tissued
transplantation such as substrate properties, angiogenesis, growth stimulation,
cell differentiation, and immunoprotection will be emphasized.
