Considers the mechanical behavior of biological materials and emphasizes the relationship between structural characteristics and macroscopic behavior. Focuses first on the mechanical behavior of microscopic protein and polysaccharide elements and then on larger scale soft and hard tissue structures. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite courses of MCEN 2024, MCEN 2063 and MCEN 3021 (all minimum grade C-). Restricted to students with 87-180 credits (Senior, Fifth Year Senior) Mechanical Engineering majors only.
