true, true…
but BioE just brings this phenomenon to a whole new level. For example, in the biomechanics class, they just throw you some fluid mechanics equations, totally out of context, in the first two lectures on fluids. At least in ME, you have a whole class on these topics.</p>
<p>This makes me wanna point out another thing. Honestly, the purpose of naming this BioE is just to trick people into thinking that they are learning some esoteric “BIOENGINEERING” materials. Back to that biomechanics example, you may think that you’re studying the bones, the arteries etc. But in reality you’re not since the class makes about two millions assumptions on pretty much everything. So in general (true for all BioE classes):
Bone = rod/beam, with different young’s modulus.
arteries =pipes, but really small pipes.
Keep that in mind folks. They are just that, though the instructors may not lead you to think as such.</p>
<p>p.s. oh yes, I love bashing BioE, 'cause it’s just so bad =(</p>
