At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. present research to peers through seminars and group discussions
- LO2. collaborate with project stakeholders from outside the engineering domain
- LO3. understand the biomedical engineering industry both locally and globally
- LO4. articulating the regulatory, legal, and ethical considerations in relation to biomedical device design and use (e.g. in clinical trials), as well as intellectual property issues
- LO5. demonstrate the ability work cohesively in a team, integrating inputs from different sources in the pursuit of a design solution
- LO6. understand and be able to plan the biomedical design process, including design iteration and testing protocols
- LO7. create a detailed design brief for a biomedical device that addresses a specific problem, with reference to international standards
- LO8. use evidence to justify methodological and design choices with reference to prior art
- LO9. understand the therapeutic, rehabilitation, and clinical contexts in which biomedical devices are required to operate, and the role of regulation within these contexts.
