What it's like to work with Dr. McDevitt
Course Title: "Fundamentals of BioMEMS and Medical Microdevices"
Instructor: Professor John T. McDevitt
Course Number: BIOE 598 (graduate)
Cross-listed as: CHEM 598 (graduate)
Term: Spring Semester 2012
Lecture Times: Tuesday and Thursday from 9:25 am to 10:40 am
Course Credits: 3 units
Through this interdisciplinary graduate course, students will obtain a basic understanding of the fundamental principles behind the operation of molecular sensors, nano-devices and biomedical microsystems. The students will be exposed to standard and novel microfabrication techniques as they are being applied to the next generation of medical microdevices. The class content will include considerations of engineering, design, mathematical modeling, quantitation, equations, simulations, transport, kinetics, thermodynamics, diffusion, computer-assisted design as applied to medical microdevices. Further, class participants will secure an appreciation of the unmet clinical needs that may be serviced by the next generation of powerful, yet affordable mini-medical devices.
