Practice the engineering design process to solve biomedical problems.

Practice should include

•    analyzing user needs, including constraints and criteria
•    defining the problem
•    performing background research
•    generating ideas
•    selecting a solution
•    using computational methods as needed for analyzing design
•    making the prototype
•    testing the solution
•    evaluating the solution.

Practice must include communicating, documenting, and reiterating the process, as necessary.

Process/Skill Questions:

•    What is the importance of following a defined process?
•    When and how should one document the procedures in solving a problem?
•    What mathematical and scientific skills are needed by biomedical engineers? How might biomedical engineers apply these skills?
•    How can mathematical and scientific solutions be graphically illustrated?
•    How does the end user influence the process?
