ENGR 477 - Biomedical Engineering Design

Credits: 3

This course is aimed as a precursor to a biomedical related senior design course. Students will be introduced to engineering design with respect to biomedical applications. Students will be immersed into the medical field visiting hospitals, clinics, or other medically relevant facilities to engage with doctors, physicians, and healthcare professions to understand the problems they face in their selected fields. Following the immersion into the medical field; students will determine a need, assess that need, and develop an idea from concept to prototype. The second half of the semester, the students will work toward design requirements regarding their senior design capstone while garnering professional development and ethical considerations faced by engineers in the healthcare industry.
