Biomechanics Minor

The minor in Biomechanics is designed to combine the human anatomy and physiology aspect of movement with the mechanical engineering perspective. This minor can serve both engineering majors who want to expand into the bioengineering field and exercise science majors to specialize in the field of biomechanics, prosthetics, or advance movement fields.
