Description
Bioengineering 435. Senior Design I: the first of two capstone courses in design. Prepares students for a real-world design problem, presented in part II of the capstone (BIOE 436), with an emphasis on development, evaluation, and recommendation of alternative solutions subject to realistic constraints that include most of the following considerations: effective teamwork and presenting, ethics, patents, Six Sigma, quality, human factors, FDA, professionalism, and ethics with emphasis on preparing students for careers in industry as well as graduate level research projects.
Class meets TR 5-6:20 pm in 2 DCL.
Expected Outcomes
- (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
- (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret
- (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
- (d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams
- (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
- (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
- (g) an ability to communicate effectively
- (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
- (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues
