Course Description:
This course is designed to provide the student with a clear and thorough demonstration of the theory and
applications of engineering mechanics to human body. Biomechanics is studied in a diverse set of disciplines
including biology, engineering, physiology, medicine, and human movement science. The study of
biomechanics has seen a growing interest as people wish to avoid injury, design ergonomic workspace, design
prosthetics and improve human performance. This course will provide you with the principles for analyzing
human movement and the basic understanding to work with those in other fields to solve problems in
biomechanics.
