correct answers
Biomedical Engineering - answer Involves applying the concepts, knowledge
and approaches of virtually all engineering disciplines to solve specific health
care-related problems
Three tracks - answer Research, Mechanical, Electrical
Research Track Example(s) - answer synthetic skin, regenerative tissue,
pharmaceutical drugs, therapy drugs, drug delivery systems
Electrical Track Example(s) - answer imaging techniques, instrumented
diagnostics, pacemaker, neuroprosthetics
Mechanical Track Example(s) - answer prosthetics, orthotics, orthopedics,
medical devices, rehabilitation devices
Benefit(s) of joining professional BMES - answer social networking, resume,
access to journals
Three steps in clinical gait analysis - answer 1. measurement of parameters
that characterize patient's gait pattern
2. interpretation of the collected and processed data
3. recommendation of treatment alternatives
Cross Product - answer (e.g. moment) absolute value of AxB=ABsin[theta]
, Dot Product - answer (e.g. work) A*B=ABcos[theta]
Flexion - answer decreases the angle of a joint
Extension - answer increases the angle of a joint
Ultimate Tensile Strength (graph) - answer ultimate tensile strength
Fracture Strength (graph) - answer fracture strength
Yield Strength (graph) - answer yield strength
Elastic vs Plastic Region (graph) - answer elastic vs plastic
Yield Strength - answer commonly used in biomaterial device design to
ensure sufficient strength
Four main biomaterials types - answer metals, ceramics/glasses, polymers,
composites
Metals pros - answer most highly used, high strength and resistance to
fracture, resist corrosion, strong, tough, ductile
Ceramics pros - answer biocompatible, inert, low wear rates, resistant to
microbial attack, strong in compression, stimulate direct bone bonding
Polymers pros - answer resemble natural materials, flexible, rigid, low
strength, high strength, resistant or encourage protein attachment,
biodegradable, permanent, complex shapes
