Biomedical Engineering Fundamentals BME3060
3 credit hours Spring 2014
Location NEB101 Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 11:45AM‐12:35PM, as per schedule
Course Description: Working specifically within the framework of biomedical engineering applications, this course provides the engineering fundamentals of the conservation laws of mass, energy, charge and momentum.
Prerequisites: CHM2046 or CHM2096, MAC2313, PHY2049
Course Goals and/or Objectives: The foundation of many biomedical engineering problems is based on conservation laws. The goals of this course are to develop problem‐formulation and problem‐solving skills, develop and understand mass and energy conservation equations, in order to apply them to solve problems in biomedical engineering.
Contribution of the Course to Meeting the Professional Component: This course prepares students to apply advanced mathematics to solve problems at the interface of engineering and biology.
Relationship of Course to Program Outcomes: This course contributes to the following program outcomes: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems; (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility; (i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life‐long learning; (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues.

Course Policies:
Attendance Policy: Attendance is required, absences, tardiness and class disruptions (cell phone use, newspaper, laptop use, etc.) will be penalized. Absences for valid reasons such as illness and religious holidays are allowed with proper documentation.
Exam Policy: There will be three partial examinations and one final examination. To maximize your partial credit in grading of tests and homework:
1. Write legibly and do not crowd your work.
2. Write the equations you are using in symbols before substituting in numbers.
3. Label all numerical quantities/values with units.
4. Construct a clear diagram, if appropriate.
Exam Make‐up Policy: Exams may be made up if extenuating circumstances are discussed beforehand or due to medical/family emergency.
Grading Policy: Course grade will be a weighted average of exam grades (90% of total) and assignment grades (10% of total).
Grading Scale:
A A‐ B+ B B‐ C+ C C‐ D+ D D‐ E
≥92 90‐91 87‐89 83‐86 80‐82 77‐79 73‐76 70‐72 67‐69 63‐66 60‐62 < 60
Grades may be curved at the instructor’s discretion. A grade of “C” will not be a qualifying grade for critical tracking courses. In order to graduate, students must have an overall GPA and an upper‐division GPA of 2.0 or better (C or better). Note: a C‐ average is equivalent to a GPA of 1.67, and therefore, it does not satisfy this graduation requirement.

UF Policies:
University Policy on Accommodating Students with Disabilities: Students requesting accommodation for disabilities must first register with the Dean of Students Office (http://www.dso.ufl.edu/drc/). The Dean of Students Office will provide documentation to the student who must then provide this documentation to the instructor when requesting accommodation. You must submit this documentation prior to submitting assignments or taking the quizzes or exams. Accommodations are not retroactive, therefore, students should contact the office as soon as possible in the term for which they are seeking accommodations.
Honesty Policy: All students admitted to the University of Florida have signed a statement of academic honesty committing themselves to be honest in all academic work and understanding that failure to comply with this commitment will result in disciplinary action. This statement is a reminder to uphold your obligation as a UF student and to be honest in all work submitted and exams taken in this course and all others.
Note that failure to comply with this commitment will result in disciplinary action compliant with the UF Student Honor Code Procedures. See http://www.dso.ufl.edu/sccr/procedures/honorcode.php.
Netiquette: Communication Courtesy: All members of the class are expected to follow rules of common courtesy in all email messages, threaded discussions and chats.
UF Counseling Services: Resources are available on‐campus for students having personal problems or lacking clear career and academic goals. The resources include:
UF Counseling & Wellness Center, 3190 Radio Rd, 392‐1575, psychological and psychiatric services.
Career Resource Center, Reitz Union, 392‐1601, career and job search services.
Software Use: All faculty, staff and student of the University are required and expected to obey the laws and legal agreements governing software use. Failure to do so can lead to monetary damages and/or criminal penalties for the individual violator. Because such violations are also against University policies and rules, disciplinary action will be taken as appropriate. We, the members of the University of Florida community, pledge to uphold ourselves and our peers to the highest standards of honesty and integrity.
Getting Help:
For issues with technical difficulties for E‐learning in Sakai, please contact the UF Help Desk at: ● Learning‐[email protected] ● (352) 392‐HELP ‐ select option 2 ● https://lss.at.ufl.edu/help.shtml
Any requests for make‐ups due to technical issues MUST be accompanied by the ticket number received from LSS when the problem was reported to them. The ticket number will document the time and date of the problem. You MUST e‐mail your instructor within 24 hours of the technical difficulty if you wish to request a make‐up.
