Prof. Davis teaching at the newly created Master's program in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain (July 2008).
Professor Davis' Classes
The academic quarter at UC Davis is on the quarter system. Prof. Davis teaches three classes per year, or one each quarter. Of these, 1 class is typically a graduate level course, and 2 classes are an undergraduate course. Below is information on the courses, and enrolled students have access to course materials through a different UC Davis website.
GRADUATE Level Courses
MAE 207: Engineering Experimentation and Uncertainty Analysis
Lecture-4 hours; term paper. Prerequisite: EME 107A and EME 107B. Design and analysis of engineering experiments with an emphasis on measurement standards, data analysis, regressions and general and detailed uncertainty analysis, including statistical intervals, propagation of bias and precision errors, and correlated bias approximations. (Offered in alternate years)
next offering: Fall 2008
MAE 298: Introduction to BioMEMS
Lecutre-4 hours; project report. This course is ideal for beginning graduate students or advanced undergraduates who are interested in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) topics related to biological applications.
