In our BioE 192 Senior Capstone Design course, student teams collaborate with a diverse set of physician “clients” in varied clinical specialties at UCSF, Stanford, UC Davis, and internationally to develop and test promising novel medical device solutions.
Students to work through one iteration of the engineering design process on their project: needs refinement and formulation, setting target specifications, concept generation and down-selection, specification refinement, functional prototyping, testing, and redesign. Three formal design reviews are conducted, with process outcomes formalized in oral and written documentation.
