Capstone Design I: Identifying the Problem

Catalog description

The first course of a three-course sequence in which a yearlong team-based project will be undertaken to design and construct a biomedical technology. In this first course, students will learn to identify unmet needs within a given medical area, select a need to address, and design an initial technology-based design concept to pursue throughout the remainder of their Capstone project. Select “in-the-news” case studies will be used to expand on the fundamental concepts introduced in the course.This course is open only to students enrolled in the Master’s in Translational Medicine (MTM) program.
