EBME 309. Modeling of Biomedical Systems
Description
Mathematical modeling of biomedical systems. Lumped and distributed
models of electrical, mechanical, and chemical processes applied to
cells, tissues, and organ systems.
Textbook
No official text book. References and course materials
will be given during the semester. It is encouraged
to use books on modeling in biological systems and
numerical methods as useful references.

Course Goals
EBME 309
1. Students will demonstrate an ability to apply mathematical
tools, especially linear systems and partial differential
equations to describe typical biomedical engineering
problems, such as bioelectrical, chemical, and diffusion
type of systems
2. Students will demonstrate an ability and efficiency
to apply computer/numerical tool (such as MATLAB) to
model and analyze the mathematical equations of biomedical
engineering systems
EBME 359
3. Students will demonstrate an ability and proficiency
with MATLAB to apply the tools to solve the mathematical
model of biomedical engineering problems
4. Students will demonstrate an ability to obtain numerical
results from the computer simulation, to apply the process
to analyze how various model parameters will affect the
results
