Course Objectives: The goal of this course is to learn and execute the design process by developing an innovative technical solution to a clinical need.
By the end of the Spring Semester, students should be able to:
- plan and execute an engineering and design project plan;
- design and implement a proof-of-concept controlled experiment;
- incorporate engineering and clinical feedback into your project plan;
- communicate your project motivation and status to experts and a lay audience;
- understand the basic components of a patent; and
- develop and maintain a design history file

Learning Outputs

The students who have succeeded in this course;
Students will work in a team on a client-centered biomedical engineering design project to learn concept generation, product analysis, specifications, eveluation, clinical trials, regulation, liability, and ethics and apply the design process to produce a physical prototype.
The design teams initially consists of 2 students : a 2nd year 1st semester student paired with a 3rd year 1st semester student. The 3rd year students serve as peer mentor in the design process.
Four such teams (a total of 8 students) will be competing for the same client based design problem, for 7 weeks, using different conceptual approaches. A winner design concept will be selected and all (8) students will work together using the winning design concept during the remaining 7 weeks to complete the project and implement a protype.

Course Content

Fundamentals of medical device design, design methodology, project management, engineering ethics, scientific report writing.
