This course will provide project-specific mentorship and guidance for a team to complete a sophisticated prototype and demonstrate technical feasibility towards impacting a clinical problem. Prototyping and testing tools and procedures will be taught and employed on a per-project basis. Documentation of progress through a design history file and course report is required. Teams will be meet biweekly with course faculty through a Desk Review format. Students are expected to work in teams between desk reviews and present progress updates as well as short- and long-term action plans at each desk review. A final presentation is expected at the end of the semester that will involve course faculty as well as a clinical sponsor (called a committee meeting in Design Teams). Additionally, each team must identify a domain expert from the WSE faculty that agrees to attend the final presentation and at least 2 desk reviews. This faculty will focus on guiding and assessing the team’s technical achievements within the context of biomedical instrumentation.
