A project-based course designed to allow students an immersive research experience and exposure to common methodologies in the field of Biomechanics. Students will develop and execute methodologies to answer biomechanical questions after establishing a background of kinetics and kinematics including basic physics principles, human gait, balance, jump, and movement pattern analysis. Students should plan on afternoon availability in weeks 2 and 3. Meets the Critical Learning: CP requirement.

Prerequisite: Human Biology and Kinesiology 104 or Human Biology and Kinesiology 204, and at least 16 credits earned (including AP or IB credit) or Junior Class standing.
