Piazza: This term we will be using Piazza for class discussion. The system is highly catered to getting you help fast and efficiently from classmates, the IA’s, and myself. Rather than emailing questions to the teaching staff, I encourage you to post your questions on Piazza. If you have any problems or feedback for the developers, email [email protected].

Topics: This course introduces the fundamentals of biofluid statics and dynamics and continuum mechanics, and covers the application of these principles to a variety of biological flows. Fluid flow in physiology and biotechnology is investigated at a variety of scales, ranging from subcellular to whole body.
Prerequisites: REQUIRED: BME 231, Math 215 and 216 (C or better) RECOMMENDED: Math 217
Grading: Homework 25% Exam 1 25% Exam 2 25% Exam 3 25%
Exams: Exam 1 – Wed, Feb 8 – 1:30-3:30, during normal class time?, two classrooms? Exam 2 – Wed, Mar 15 – 1:30-3:30, during normal class time?, two classrooms?
2 Exam 3 – Fri, Apr 21 – 4:00-6:00, finals week, two classrooms? Please let me know during the first week of class if you have any conflicts with the exam schedule or are allowed extra time.
Our stellar IA’s will hold additional review sessions. They will be held on Sun Feb 5th, Sun Mar 112th, Sun Apr 16th. Time and location TBD. Will be tape recorded, if possible
Homework: Online through WileyPLUS Looks like we will have ~7 homework assignments. You have an infinite number of chances. Each student gets different numbers but the numbers do not change every attempt. Late assignments are not accepted. Problems to be turned in are due at the BEGINNING of class on the due date. Wiley will automatically submit your homework at noon on Friday. Homework is due approximately every 10 days. Your lowest homework assignment will be dropped. Some problem(s) of each homework will be turned in for hand-grading; this is so we can make sure that you are thinking about and approaching problems correctly. You MUST present your solutions in a neat and easy to follow format on exams. Therefore, you should practice this on ALL homework problems.
Early Bird Questions: Online through WileyPLUS. Voluntary.
Pre-Lectures: Canvas – Files/PRE LECTURES. For discussion during class.
Honor Code: It can be found at http://honorcode.engin.umich.edu/wp- content/uploads/sites/147/2014/07/Honor-code-pamphlet-Adobe-Prof.pdf . The policies of the College of Engineering Honor Code apply to this course. Although you should study in groups, the assignments you turn in must represent your own work and understanding. You may NOT simply copy another person’s work and submit it as your own. The exams are solely an individual effort and are also subject to the guidelines of the honor code.
Regrades: Regrade requests must be submitted to the GSI within 1 week of receiving a graded homework or exam. A detailed explanation of why you deserve additional points on specific question(s) should be written on a separate paper and attached.
Grade scale: The ‘curve’ will not be higher than: 97-100% A+ 93-97% A 90-93% A-
3 87-90% B+ 83-87% B 80-83% B- 77-80% C+ 73-77% C 70-73% C- 67-70% D+ 63-67% D 60-63% D- 0-59% E
Cell phones and laptops: Do not use them. Make sure volume on phones is turned off. It is rude and distracting. If this becomes a problem, then I will keep a record of who is using phones and/or laptops in class and will subtract points.
Schedule: This is a tentative schedule. This may change as we progress through the semester and will be updated on Canvas. A detailed schedule can also be found at Canvas – Files/BME331 F2017 Detailed Schedule

JOVE: I would like to incorporate more real-life examples of mechanics studied in biological systems. JOVE is an amazing resource for this. Could you please each go to http://www.jove.com/ and set up an account, using your umich email. (NOTE: I am introducing you to JOVE as it is also a resource for learning new things as they come up … say, when you get your first job and they assign you something you have never even heard of!!!)
