ABOUT THE COURSE: This course introduces Biomechanics to students from all backgrounds in engineering. The course builds a foundation in mechanics, introduces biological terminology and builds on this foundation to introduce static analysis, postural analysis and gait analysis. Further, this course discusses mechanics of biomaterials – both hard and soft tissues. Advanced concepts like Visco-elastic properties of soft tissues are also discussed. The course uses a novel pedagogical approach, the learner centric MOOC (LCM) approach INTENDED AUDIENCE: B.E./B.Tech (Biomedical Engg) students, M.E./M.Tech (Biomedical Engg) students, MS/Ph.D. (Biomedical Engg) students PREREQUISITES: High school physics & mathematics. Kindly note that this course does NOT assume knowledge of Engg Mechanics and Strength of Materials.
