BE 4000 - Biomedical Engineering Design V

2 lecture hours 3 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course continues the biomedical engineering (BE) design sequence. In preparation for eventual student graduation, professional topics such as current trends in BE, searching for employment and graduate study opportunities, and the need for and process of professional licensure are discussed. This professional coverage is balanced with continued coverage of technical topics such as the clinical evaluation of medical devices, relevant codes and standards, and specific design techniques and considerations. This course includes a formal design review experience. (prereq: BE 3002 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Describe important current topics and trends in BE
  • Use appropriate resources to conduct their search for employment or graduate study opportunities
  • Describe the special requirements associated with medical device software
  • Describe the clinical evaluation process for medical devices
  • Explain the importance of professional licensure and the process for obtaining licensure
  • Describe the scope and applicability of various common accreditations, codes, and standards (such as JCAHO, NFPA, NEC, AAMI, ANSI) in BME practice
  • Appropriately consider usability and maintainability issues during the design process
  • Plan for and deal with electrical noise and interference in their designs
  • Be able to “sell” their ideas
