Fundamentals of Engineering Review
|
![View Details](App_Themes/ClassicUMKC/Images/magnifier.png) |
|
This course consists of a series of lectures given by different professors and is intended as a review class for all the subjects included in the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. Classes specifically focus on the review of equations and formulas included in the reference handbook published by NCEES. Lectures given using PowerPoint presentations will be posted on blackboard each week. All lectures are NOT given using PowerPoint presentations and it is the students' responsibility to obtain the notes of those classes in case they were not able to attend the class.

Introduction to Biomechanics
|
![View Details](App_Themes/ClassicUMKC/Images/magnifier.png) |
|
This course is to provide students with an introduction to the engineering principles of biomechanics. Following a general introduction to anatomical terminology, students will be exposed to three primary sub-disciplines of biomechanics including kinetics and kinematics of human movement, muscle mechanics, and biomaterials. Students will become familiar with measurement techniques and current research being done within each of these units through lectures and in-class discussions and presentations of relevant journal articles. A final semester project, culminating in a NIH-style research proposal, will be developed throughout the semester in one of the three units presented.
