This is the first part of the capstone design course for BIOE program. Students form teams to ‎design a biomaterial, component, or process. The design process includes formulation of the problem statement, establishment of objectives, technical literature, concept generation and consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility study, engineering design procedure and analyses, prototype fabrication and testing. The design should take into consideration appropriate standards and constraints such as cost, safety, reliability, ethics and environmental and social impact. An oral presentation and the submission of a final technical report of the design project are required.
