Life In Moving Fluids: Introducing Classical Fluid Mechanics Into Bioengineering

A new course that seeks to link classical fluid dynamics with living systems has been developed and offered as part of the bioengineering program. A fully integrative approach was taken throughout the semester with the focus remaining fixed upon the impact that fluid dynamics has on life and living systems. A wide range of activities are integrated into the course with the most non-traditional being a compassion practicum and the creation of a visual art project.
