BIOENG 0051 - WORKSHOP IN MEDICAL DEVICES- THE BASICS

Minimum Credits: 1
Maximum Credits: 1
Reverse engineering' of medical devices is used to introduce students to basic terminology in the medical device field, the coupling of design with function, and the processes involved in moving from device conception to product. Skills learned (1) emphasize the significance of curiosity and information seeking in device development, and (2) will help with bioengineering design projects. Multiple medical specialties will be covered, along with basic function of devices (diagnostics, treatment, monitoring, etc). The workshop will use 'hands on' learning experiences, focusing on devices that can be taken apart. After discussion of device purpose and function, students will be challenged to identify potential design improvements. Students are expected to be active participants in the seminar.
