The design process required to produce biomedical devices, research equipment, and clinical tools is developed. Topics include identification of need; requirements specification; project management; working in teams; solutions conceptualization, refinement, and selection; hazard and risk analysis and mitigation; verification; validation; regulatory requirements; and medical device pathways to the market. Through critical examination of contemporary medical research and clinical problems, students, working in teams, will identify a need to develop a specific problem statement, project plan, input requirements, solution concept and risk analysis. Recommended preparation: EBME 310.

This course will provide research and development in the laboratory of a mentoring faculty member. Varied R&D experiences will include activities in biomedical instrumentation, tissue engineering, imaging, drug delivery, and neural engineering. Each Student must identify a faculty mentor, and together they will create a description of the training experience prior to the first class. Prereq: EBME 201 and EBME 202.
