BIO 328 - Physical Biology
Description
Participants in the course will use the basic principles of fluid and solid mechanics, optics, vibration, and electromagnetic fields to analyze the morphology and function of organisms or parts of organisms. Topics will include vision, transparency, navigating and communicating with sound, circulatory systems, swimming and flying, and the mechanical properties of biomaterials and biological structures. The lab will focus on research projects related to biomaterial, structures, and movement. Most Biology courses require one, or some combination of attendance at a research seminar; a poster session presenting research findings; a field trip and additional lab time to work on projects. [Counts as Area 1 for BFN and Area 2 for BFA.]
