Offers the first in a two-course sequence of capstone design. Project supervisors and teams are paired through a pitch process, wherein teams pitch their design ideas to meet an existing need on a project. Project is in an area of biomedical engineering, such as biomedical instrumentation, biosensors, tissue engineering, biological signal processing, biological modeling and simulation, clinical imaging or informational systems, etc. Projects will be conducted by teams of typically three to five students, and projects must include significant design experience. The first semester focuses on research of background, planning, crafting of needs statement, and initial work on senior design project . Formal proposal must be approved by technical advisor.
