Laboratory in the Mechanics of Organisms  –  Integrative Biology  (INTEGBI) C135L 

Course Format: Six hours of laboratory and one hour of discussion per week, plus one field trip.

Prerequisites: Integrative Biology 135 or consent of instructor; Electrical Engineering 105, 120 or Computer Science 184 recommended.

Formerly Integrative Biology 135L

Credit option: Students will receive no credit for Integrative Biology C135L, Bioengineering C136L or Electrical Engineering C145O after taking Integrative Biology 135L.

Description: Introduction to laboratory and field study of the biomechanics of animals and plants using fundamental biomechanical techniques and equipment. Course has a series of rotations involving students in experiments demonstrating how solid and fluid mechanics can be used to discover the way in which diverse organisms move and interact with their physical environment. The laboratories emphasize sampling methodology, experimental design, and statistical interpretation of results. Latter third of course devoted to independent research projects. Written reports and class presentation of project results are required. Also listed as Electrical Engineering C145O and Bioengineering C136L. (SP) Staff
