This course will cover more in-depth engineering design methods than ENME301 and cover procedures that are not included in the engineering science subjects. The subject matter will have a biomedical design focus and will include additional content to cover bioethics and regulatory compliance. Overall students are brought to a level where they can undertake a substantial biomedical engineering design problem in a methodical manner, and can produce a professional quality design report.
This course is an elective for Mechanical Engineering students who are attempting the Biomedical Minor.
