授课教师：
阮刚 教授
课程具体教学目标：
1）获得对生物医学工程学科的入门性知识
2）发展基于对生物医学工程学科的实际理解产生的兴趣
3）发展用英文进行交流的基本能力
知识模块顺序及对应的学时
1）课程引言（Introduction），3学时
2）生命系统（Living Systems），6学时
3）生物材料（Biomaterials），9学时
4）生物力学（Biomechanics），3学时
5）生物传递与药物释放（Biotransport and Drug Delivery），6学时
6）生物医学影像（Biomedical Imaging），6学时
7）生物纳米技术（Bionanotechnology），6学时
8）癌症（Cancer），6学时
