Biomedical Device Design

Catalog description

This is a required project-based learning course for Biomedical Engineering (BME) majors. It introduces the engineering design process and related concepts, tools, and methodologies in the context of biomedical device design. Students will work in teams to redesign, modify, fabricate, and validate a current medical device. Topics include the engineering design process, rapid prototyping using 3D printing, finite-element analysis (FEA), and the use of standards in design evaluation (e.g., ASTM testing standards).
