Graduate
- KIN 395. Topic 36: Biomechanics of Human Movement. Same as Biomedical Engineering 383J (Topic 4: Biomechanics of Human Movement). Additional prerequisite: Kinesiology 326K, two semesters of calculus, one semester of college physics (mechanics), and consent of instructor. Typically taught once every other year. Download sample syllabus.
- KIN 395. Topic 59: Biomechanics in Clinical Settings. Designed to provide students with the basic biomechanical competence required to understand how normal human movements are generated, how movements are altered by injury or pathology, and how clinical intervention can improve performance. Additional prerequisite: Kinesiology 324K and 326K, or the equivalent. Typically taught once every other year. Download sample syllabus.
- KIN 395. Topic 61: Central Questions in Biomechanics and Motor Control. Designed to allow students to explore specific topics of current interest in biomechanics and/or motor control; to learn to evaluate the scientific literature in areas of current debate or controversy; and to develop scientifically sound, relevant, and experimentally testable research hypotheses. Additional prerequisite: Kinesiology 382 (Topic 4: Biomechanics Laboratory), and Kinesiology 395 (Topic 36) or written consent of instructor. Typically taught once every other year. Download sample syllabus.
- KIN 395. Topic 63: Introduction to Nonlinear Dynamics in Biological Systems. Same as Biomedical Engineering 383J (Topic 5: Introduction to Nonlinear Dynamics in Biological Systems). Basic concepts of nonlinear mathematics and their application to biological systems. Additional prerequisite: Two semesters of college-level calculus and consent of instructor. Typically taught once every other year. Download sample syllabus.
