Senior Design II

1 unit

BME 402 is a continuation of BME 401. Working in small groups, students will take a paper design completed in BME 401 and build a prototype. They will evaluate, optimize, and undertake the building of the design. The design experience will require the application of knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work; it will incorporate engineering standards and realistic constraints that include most of the following considerations: economic, environmental, sustainability, manufacturability, ethical, health and safety, social and political. Students will prepare written reports and participate in oral design reviews involving a panel of faculty members and industrial representatives. Prototype construction is the final goal of the class.
