Engineering applications of Matrix algebra, vector spaces and computer techniques to solve linear systems. Linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalization and their applications in engineering problems. Complex variable algebra, multi-variables, partial derivatives and maxima and minima.

Basic concepts of biological material structure, properties, adaptation and remodeling: viscosity on biological materials and techniques for modeling viscoelastic material behaviour; 2-dimensional and 3-diemsional joint kinematic analysis techniques; muscle mechanics and optimization yechniques; current techniques in laboratory instrumentation and biomedical applications.

Concept development, design, modeling, manufacture and testing of medical implants and tools. This course will investigate the biomechanical factors influencing design, regulatory issues, current development trends, and the possible future of medical implant technology.
