ENGINEERING APPROACHES TO SOLVING CLINICAL CHALLENGES.

Catalog description

In this sophomore course, students will apply engineering principles to find solutions to current clinical problems presented to the class. As small groups, students will work as teams to design a process or system to meet the desired needs of the given clinical challenges based on the necessary constraints. As a final project presentation, students will use what they have learned to identify a new clinical challenge and work to define a meaningful set of manufacturing, fiscal, safety, ethical, and health-related constraints associated with the problem. Students will be highly encouraged to identify solutions to these newly derived clinical problems and to integrate this clinical challenge as part of their future senior design project. Prerequisite: C or better in BE 1105 , BE 1325 , MATH 2425 , CHEM 1442 , and BE 2315 or consent of BE undergraduate advisor.
