Spring 2025 Studio Distance Learning Upper Division
Introduction to a diverse spectrum of current topics relevant to the technical, professional, and career aspects of Biomedical Engineers. The course topics will focus on the early stages of the design process (e.g., need identification, problem formulation, innovation and idea generation), professional communication skills (e.g., written and oral reporting and documentation), and ethics of biomedical design and research (e.g., ethical codes and decision making, animal care and use in research and testing, authorship and intellectual property, social and environmental impact of design).
Learning Outcomes1Able to identify medical needs relevant to Biomedical Engineering solutions, an understanding of realistic constraints which impact biomedical engineering design
2Understand ethical and professional responsibilities which impact design
3Understand the need for a multidisciplinary team to solve biomedical engineering design projects.
4Able to independently acquire knowledge from a variety of sources including biology and medicine as well as other engineering disciplines.
5Able to communicate effectively in written form and evaluate written reports
6Able to identify a career development pathway that is relevant to their personal identity and training as Biomedical Engineers.
