Course contents

Overview of Engineering Design: classical steps in engineering design - identify the need, research the problem, develop possible solutions, select the most promising solution, construct a prototype, test and evaluate the prototype, communicate the design, and redesign. Biomedical Devices: Introduction to biomedical devices; overview of biomedical device design. Biomedical Engineering Design methodology: design tools; design (project) team management; the design process; project definition; project design specification; materials selection. Biomedical engineering manufacturing: prototyping in biomedical device design; testing and optimisation of biomedical design; product documentation; project presentation; manufacturing and quality control. Ethico-legal issues in Biomedical Engineering Design: intellectual property management; regulation of biomedical devices.
