This capstone experience provides companies with a team of senior-level bioengineering learners who are trained to apply engineering design principles to solve complex real-world biomedical challenges. Throughout the course, learners will: Design, develop, and prototype medical devices, diagnostic tools, or bioengineering systems. Work under real-world fiscal, regulatory, and safety constraints to refine their designs. Utilize prototyping labs and wet lab spaces to construct and test solutions. Communicate findings effectively through written reports, oral presentations, and technical documentation . Consider ethical, environmental, and economic factors in engineering solutions. Learners will: Apply engineering and bioengineering principles to solve complex problems. Conduct background research , including journal articles and patents , to inform design choices. Develop a working prototype or simulation with documentation and testing data. Address safety, compliance, and regulatory considerations in the design process. Communicate results effectively through design history documentation, presentations, and final reports . Work in interdisciplinary team settings to complete projects on time and within scope.
