APSM 7301 - Biomechanics Research Tutorial

Credits: 3

This doctoral level, seminar-style course introduces the practice of research in biomechanics, beginning with the scientific method as practiced in modern experimental biology and basic knowledge in musculoskeletal biology. Most individual classes involve students reading and critiquing original papers in the field of biomechanics to understand 1) how knowledge is acquired through experimentation and 2) how the body of working knowledge in biomechanics has been brought about by the practice of the scientific method. An emphasis is placed on the integration of knowledge across levels of biological organization and the wide array of experimental techniques that has contributed to knowledge in the field.
