Injury Biomechanics (Bridge Graduate Certificate)

Wayne State University

Injury biomechanics is a well-known field in automotive safety and constitutes the scientific basis for automotive safety design. All safety improvements made over the last half century use research data generated by workers in injury biomechanics. Wayne State University has an 80-plus year history in injury biomechanics research including development of the safety windshield, the collapsible steering column and the restraint system and has an international reputation for advances in this field.This bridge graduate certificate program aims to provide specialized skills and training engineers will need to address impact biomechanics and motor vehicle trauma in the automotive and defense industries as well as blast-induced injury biomechanics and countermeasures.
