Course DescriptionIn this course senior students experience the scientific research steps by a project work related to biomedical engineering. Students can work in a team or solely. Those scientific research step are literature review, concept development, analysis, design, experiment, test, discussion, etc. The project can be a design of a product, design of a part of a product, scientific research project, part of a scientific research project, simulation work, modeling, etc. The projects should cover a project implementation plan, literature review, and project design and discussion parts. In the project work students should make presentations and should complete a report. The project work can be completed in a term or in two terms with the BME 496 Graduation Project II course.
