BMEN 5151 Intro to BioMEMS & Medical Micro Devices

Spring Semester 2027, 2 cr.

Thursdays 3:35 to 5:30 p.m.. This course is taught in-person, and not remotely or by Zoom.

Course materials are provided in formats that work with widely available accessibility tools. PDF files can be read using Microsoft Edge, Adobe Acrobat Reader, NVDA, and other free applications. For best results, download the PDF to your computer first, then open it in your preferred reader and use its built‑in “Read Aloud” or screen‑reader features. Equations are available in three formats: directly in the PDF lecture slides, as LaTeX files linked through GitHub, and as HTML files rendered with MathJax. 

The HTML versions provide the most natural screen‑reader experience. MathJax allows NVDA and similar tools to read mathematical expressions clearly and in the correct order. If you use NVDA, activate it after opening one of the HTML equation files.

The LaTeX versions offer the highest visual quality for printing, annotation, and study, and may be preferred by students who work directly with mathematical notation.

Using Chrome or Brave? You may need to periodically clear "cached images and files" (under Settings/Privacy and Settings/Delete Browsing Data) in order to download the latest file version.
