Bioengineering Design Capstone

The course provides practical training in engineering design as students are placed within design groups to work through a real-life iteration of the engineering design process they learned in BMEN501 for an idea either of their own or provided by faculty members. Interdisciplinary teams will typically be paired up with two faculty mentors, one from MSFEA and one from FM. Students will be challenged to innovate and improve clinical, diagnostic, or patient care technologies via need-based problem statements under the guidance of their faculty mentors. Each team will complete the course by delivering a prototype or a proof of concept of their engineering solution capable of demonstrating the required functions of the intended solution. Each team will present the outcome of their work in technical reports and oral presentations. Prerequisite: BMEN 501.
