This course explores broadly how engineering design approaches can be used to address a variety of challenges in human health. Through readings, discussions, lab experiences, short design assignments, and a semester-long team design project, students work to identify open unmet biomedical needs and learn a process for how to develop solutions to meet those needs. The emphasis is on first gaining a thorough understanding of an unmet need and then on continually improving solution ideas, through testing and seeking feedback on the current set of possible solutions and learning from failure.Restrictions: EGR 100 may not be repeated. Enrollment limited to 20.
