Course Objectives: Third year students will work in a team of 3 to 4 students on a predefined interdisciplinary biomedical engineering design project that usually leads toward their senior capstone design course.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
Students will,
Work on a guided real-world diagnostic, therapeutical or monitoring device design,
Learn both the professional and hands-on technical skills needed to solve a multidisciplinary project,
Learn to work independently on a project which can carry forward to a more complex project for capstone design,
Learn to write the scientific report of their own design project.

Course Content

Professional design-based skills will be taught during the lectures including concept generation, product analysis, design specifications, medical device regulations and standards, device testing on verification and validation, ethics and liability.
