BMEN 4151 - Physician Inspired Engineering Solutions (PIES) (1-3 Cr.)
Course description
Students who participate in the PIES BMEn Directed Research Program have an opportunity to frequently interact with physicians to observe a need within the clinical environment and formulate engineering-based solutions. Students will be put on teams where they will collaborate to generate ideas, do rapid-prototyping, and perform usability tests on their devices with guidance from physicians and BMEn faculty. Students will earn Directed Research Credits which count towards upper division technical electives. You are required to work an average of 3 hours per week, per credit you sign up for (1-3 credits per semester). This includes hospital observations, team meetings, and prototyping.
