BE 4002 - Biomedical Engineering Design VII

2 lecture hours 3 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course completes the biomedical engineering (BE) design sequence. The emphasis in this course is the completion design projects, their documentation, and prototype testing. A few remaining technical and professional topics are covered or revisited in this course. In particular, current topics, trends and ethical issues in BE, and manufacturing, device assembly and device sterilization are covered. Students submit final project documentation and present their prototypes as part of this course. (prereq: BE 4001 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• describe and discuss the current topics and tend in BE
• explain current manufacturing and assembly processes and select and apply these to their design projects
• Be able address biological safety concerns and to describe and select sterilization and infection control processes
• Document the outcome of their design process
• Be prepared to present the results of their design efforts to the BE program faculty and the public
