Senior Capstone Design I

Lecture/Lab. First course of two-quarter capstone sequence. Team based project introduces students to the process of designing new bioengineering technologies to address unmet societal needs. Methods and processes include need specification, brainstorming, concept selection, system specification, and system engineering/design via iterative prototyping and experimentation. First quarter focuses on the innovation process and skills building, and teams go from specifying the need to initial prototypes and project plans. Second quarter focuses on implementation and demonstration of technical feasibility. Lectures and labs include interactive project work and guest experts. This course is open only to seniors in the undergraduate Bioengineering program (or by instructor consent). This is a Cardinal Course certified by the Haas Center for Public Service.
