Capstone Design III: Translational Solutions

Catalog description

The third course of a three-course sequence in which a yearlong team-based project will be undertaken to design and construct a biomedical technology. This third course focuses on initial testing of the functional prototype developed in Capstone II. Depending on the project, students may conduct bench-top and/or initial user testing. Students will also develop a full commercialization strategy for their technology and learn to communicate this strategy to public and private funding bodies. Select “in-the-news” case studies will be used to expand on the fundamental concepts introduced in the course.
