Course Description:
Design of custom strategies to address real-life issues in the development of biocompatible and biomimetic devices for biotechnology or biomedical applications. Student teams will work with a client in the development of projects that incorporate materials science, biological transport and biomechanics. Formal engineering design principles will be emphasized; overview of intellectual properties, engineering ethics, risk analysis, safety in design and FDA regulations will be reviewed. Oral and written reports, and prototype development will be required. This course is intended as a capstone design course for the upper-level undergraduate biomedical engineering students with a focused interest in biomolecular science, biotechnology, transport, drug delivery, biomechanics and related disciplines.
Course Prerequisites:
Two of the following courses: BME 83 Biomaterials, BME 100 Modeling Cellular and Molecular Systems, BME 110 Biomechanics, BME 207 Transport Phenomena in Biological Systems, or their equivalent.
