Description
|
The biomechanics and
movement science program is an interdisciplinary graduate
program that combines faculty and physical resources from
several academic units at the University of Delaware. The
interdisciplinary approach to the study of biomechanics
provides students with a rich educational experience via the
availability and expertise of faculty members in sport
biomechanics, physical therapy, applied physiology,
engineering, and computer science. The program brings
together scientists from a number of complimentary
disciplines to address unresolved problems of human function
that are related both directly and indirectly to problems of
movement. The interdisciplinary nature of the program
encourages collaborative efforts incorporating biomechanics,
human physiology, motor neurophysiology, engineering and
computational approaches, with the goal of improving human
life. This unique program is further enhanced by the
substantial research facilities of the participating
academic units. Programs of study are individually tailored
to serve the common interests of the student and the faculty
advisor.
