OBJECTIVES:          This is an elective course for seniors in Mechanical Engineering, Bio-medical Engineering and other Engineering disciplines.  It is designed to familiarize students with the applications of
Mechanics to the Physiological Systems of the human body. 

HOMEWORK:            Home work problems will be assigned that will be reviewed in the next class immediately after the assignment. 

EXAMS:                     There will be two exams during the semester, followed by the Final Exam. In addition, two ‘Take Home Tests’ will also be assigned. 

FINAL GRADE:       Item                                               Weight(%) 

                                    Midterm Exams:                                   30                                   

                                    Take Home Tests                                 30 

                                    Final Exam.                                          40 

GRADING SCALE:  The grading scale will be as follows:

                                    A   90 %and above                              B+  85-89%
B   75- 84%                                        C+   70-74%
