BIOENG 2152 - MEDICAL PRODUCT PROTOTYPING FOUNDATIONS LAB

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This graduate level course focuses on frequently utilized tools and techniques used in medical product design, conceptualization, and early prototyping. This is a foundational course, where no prior (or assumed) knowledge of design or prototyping is required. Students will be introduced to a series of commonly utilized prototyping techniques including sketching, foam core modeling, 3d modeling, digital fabrication, and electronics building blocks. This immersive course introduces students to the fundamental principles of device prototyping through engaging team projects and guided technical workshops, empowering them with crucial foundational skills to bring their ideas to life. In parallel with learning the tools and techniques, students will also be placed in teams and challenged to implement these tools into an innovative and creative wearable technology that can augment human performance. The focus on the design project will be to harness students' creative potential, exercise flexible thinking skills, and to learn to implement the design process and project management software and strategies. Although this course was designed specifically for the bioengineering MS-MPE program, it is open to other graduate level students that have had minimal exposure to hands-on and/or foundational skills for medical device prototyping.
