BI 346L Biomechanics Lab

This course will introduce students to fundamental anatomical and mechanical principles and their application to biological systems to understand organismal movement. Emphasis will be placed on the biomechanics of the human body and movement. Topics will include biological tissue form and function, mechanical properties of biological tissues, kinematics, and kinetics. The laboratory will expose students to basic experimental tools and techniques for biomechanical applications.
