The Biomechanics and Orthopedics track involves the application of Engineering Mechanics to solve problems in biology and physiology as well as problems of clinical relevance. Biomechanics provides an understanding of the the functions of organs, tissues, cells and the physical aspects of the disease process at different levels. Biomechanics and Orthopedics also deals with the application of mechanics to the conception, design, development and analysis of the devices used in biology and medicine.
Students in this track take courses from Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Programs.
