An introductory undergraduate course in biomechanics and computer graphics is being developed, geared toward enhancing general computer literacy with regards to human motion modeling. A course goal is to encourage students to assume responsibility for their intellectual development through active learning and independent investigation. With both a lecture and laboratory component, the course emphasizes the analytical development of kinematic models, the acquisition of kinematic data with laboratory experiments and the use of computer graphics techniques for human motion rendering. An educational software tool, Biomechanica, is being developed as a multipurpose dynamic simulation program with a user-friendly programming interface. The personal computer is an inexpensive medium for educating our future engineers, scientists, and medical practitioners about the physiological capabilities of the human body. The use of computer graphics in biomechanics usually occurs at the graduate level. This course and software development effort make these topics accessible to lower division students.

生物力学和计算机图形学的本科入门课程正在开发中，旨在提高有关人体运动建模的一般计算机知识。课程目标是鼓励学生通过主动学习和独立调查来承担智力发展的责任。本课程以讲座和实验两部分为主，强调运动学模型的分析发展，通过实验室实验获取运动学数据，以及使用计算机图形技术进行人体运动渲染。一个教育软件工具，生物力学，正在开发作为一个多用途的动态模拟程序与一个用户友好的编程界面。个人电脑是教育我们未来的工程师、科学家和医生关于人体生理能力的廉价媒介。计算机图形学在生物力学中的应用通常出现在研究生阶段。本课程和软件开发工作使低年级学生能够接触到这些主题。
