Description:

This course builds upon MENG 6310 (Identification of Medical Engineering Opportunities - Clinical Rotations I). The student selects an unmet healthcare device, process, or delivery need, and scrutinizes factors such as clinical impact, technical feasibility, and commercial viability to determine an opportunity on which to focus. During the course students are required to define technical specifications that engineering solutions would have to meet for a viable solution, which is confirmed by all stakeholders (ie, patients, doctors, nurses, hospital administration). Once the needs and specifications are understood, the student has an opportunity to continue the product development cycle by developing models and prototypes.
