Viscoelastic materials have the capacity to both store and dissipate energy. As a result, properly describing their mechanical behavior lies outside the scope of both solid mechanics and fluid mechanics. This course will develop constitutive relations and strategies for solving boundary value problems in linear viscoelastic materials. In addition, the closely-related biphasic theory for fluid-filled porous solids will be introduced. An emphasis will be placed on applications to cartilage, tendon, ligament, muscle, blood vessels, and other biological tissues. Advanced topics including non-linear viscoelasticity, composite viscoelasticity and physical mechanisms of viscoelasticity will be surveyed. Prerequisites: ME 225 or CHE 243; ME 226 or BME 201.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of modern cell and tissue engineering. It focuses on the fundamental interactions between cells and their environment, with a strong emphasis on contemporary advancements in cell and tissue engineering. The course covers three main areas in multiple modules: 1. Fundamental Biology: Elements of embryonic morphogenesis, wound healing, cell culture, and stem cells. 2. Cellular Engineering: Assessing and engineering cell responses (cell signaling), and understanding the mechanics and biology of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and 3. Advanced Technologies: Innovative strategies in biomaterials, genome editing, drug delivery, and bioreactors for functional tissue engineering and manufacturing. Throughout the course, we will focus on analytical skills, and students are expected to have a background in biology, chemistry, mass transfer, thermodynamics, and physiology. The course includes a term project with both written and oral components. Students will choose a specific application in cell and tissue engineering and analyze its underlying technology, clinical need, and ethical implications.
