Capstone Design II: Conceptual Innovation

Catalog description

The second course of a three-course sequence in which a yearlong team-based project will be undertaken to design and construct a biomedical technology. This second course focuses on iteration of the initial technology-based design concept developed in Capstone I and fabrication of the functional prototype of the final design concept. Students will learn key aspects of research and development (R&D) and project management. In addition, students will learn to tailor their written and oral communications to audiences from diverse professional backgrounds. Select “in-the-news” case studies will be used to expand on the fundamental concepts introduced in the course.
