2.00 Credits
Students learn and implement the design process to produce working prototypes of medical devices with potential commercial value to meet significant clinical needs. Critical examination of contemporary medical problems is used to develop a specific problem statement. The class is divided into teams of 3 to 4 students. Each team integrates their knowledge and skills to design a device to meet their clinical need. Project planning and management, including resource allocation, milestones, and documentation, are required to ensure successful completion of projects within the allotted time and budget. Formal design reviews by a panel of advisors and outside medical device experts are required every four weeks. Every student is required to give oral presentations at each formal review and is responsible for formal documentation of the design process, resulting in an executive summary and complete design history file of the project. The course culminates with a public presentation of the team's device to a panel of experts. This course is expected to provide the student with a real-world, capstone design experience. Recommended preparation: EBME 310

This course is the culmination of the BME educational experience in which the student will apply acquired skills and knowledge to create a working device or product to meet a medical need. Students will learn how to apply engineering skills to solve problems and physically realize a project design. The course structure includes regular meetings with a faculty project advisor, regular reports of accomplished activity, hands on fabrication of devices, and several lectures from leading engineers from industry and academia that have first hand experience in applying the principles of design to Biomedical Engineering. Students will also provide periodic oral progress reports and a final oral presentation with a written design report. Prereq: EBME 370.

3.00 Credits
The design process required to produce biomedical devices, research equipment, and clinical tools is developed. Topics include identification of need; requirements specification; project management; working in teams; solutions conceptualization, refinement, and selection; hazard and risk analysis and mitigation; verification; validation; regulatory requirements; and medical device pathways to the market. Through critical examination of contemporary medical research and clinical problems, students, working in teams, will identify a need to develop a specific problem statement, project plan, input requirements, solution concept and risk analysis. Students will provide periodic oral progress reports and a final oral presentation with a written design report. Recommended preparation: EBME 310.

3.00 Credits
Continuation of EBME 398. Recommended preparation: EBME 398 and consent of department.
-
0.00 Credits
This will provide the Ph.D. candidate with experience in teaching undergraduate or graduate students. The experience is expected to consist of direct student contact, but will be based upon the specific departmental needs and teaching obligations. This teaching experience will be conducted under the supervision of the faculty member who is responsible for the course, but the academic advisor will assess the educational plan to ensure that it provides an educational opportunity for the student. Recommended preparation: UNIV 400, BME Ph.D. student.

4.00 Credits
Graduate students with various undergraduate backgrounds will learn the fundamental principles of biomedical measurements that integrate instrumentation and signal processing with problem-based hands-on experience. Prereq or Coreq: May not have taken EBME 401 prior to Fall 2011 or EBME 421 after Summer 2011.
-
4.00 Credits
Graduate students with various undergraduate backgrounds will learn the fundamental principles of organ and tissue physiology as well as systems modeling. Prereq or Coreq: May not have taken EBME 402 prior to Fall 2011 or EBME 422 after Summer 2011.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis and design of biomedical instruments with special emphasis on transducers. Body, system, organ, tissue, cellular, molecular, and nano-level measurements. Applications to clinical problems and biomedical research. Prereq: Graduate standing.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the important fundamentals and applications of polymers in medicine, and consists of three major components: (i) the blood and soft-tissue reactions to polymer implants; (ii) the structure, characterization and modification of biomedical polymers; and (iii) the application of polymers in a broad range of cardiovascular and extravascular devices. The chemical and physical characteristics of biomedical polymers and the properties required to meet the needs of the intended biological function will be presented. Clinical evaluation, including recent advances and current problems associated with different polymer implants. Recommended preparation: EBME 306 or equivalent. Offered as EBME 406 or EMAC 471. Prereq: Graduate standing or Undergraduate with Junior or Senior standing and a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or above.
