	R. Hannemann, M.D., N. A. Peppas, E. I. Franses, K. Park

prerequisites
	Senior standing

description
The goals of this course are to introduce chemical and other engineers to
 biomedical problems and point out the use of chemical engineering principles
 in the solution of medical problems.  Problems addressed include the use of
 physiological and mathematical principles to analyze diseases and their 
courses, and to design new extracorporeal devices.
