Biomedical Engineering Design presents the design processes and
practices used in academic and industry medical device design projects.
The first two chapters are an overview of the design process, project
management and working on technical teams. Further chapters follow the
general order of a design sequence in biomedical engineering, from
problem identification to validation and verification testing. The first
seven chapters, or parts of them, can be used for first-year and
sophomore design classes. The next six chapters are primarily for
upper-level students and include in-depth discussions of detailed
design, testing, standards, regulatory requirements and ethics. The last
two chapters summarize the various activities that industry engineers
might be involved in to commercialize a medical device.
