Biomedical Engineering Design

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. Covers subject matter rarely addressed in other BME design texts, such as packaging design, testing in living systems and sterilization methods Provides instructive examples of how technical, marketing, regulatory, legal, and ethical requirements inform the design process Includes numerous examples from both industry and academic design projects that highlight different ways to navigate the stages of design as well as document and communicate design decisions Provides comprehensive coverage of the design process, including methods for identifying unmet needs, applying Design for ‘X’, and incorporating standards and design controls Discusses topics that prepare students for careers in medical device design or other related medical fields No Current Textbook Addresses All The Core Issues Of The Biomedical Engineering Design Process. Biomedical Engineering Design Covers All Of These Issues While Providing A More Relevant, Up-to-date, Impactful Resource For Teachers, Students And Professionals. Appropriate For Use Either In A Two Semester Senior Capstone Design Course Or A Lower Level Course, The First Three Chapters Of Biomedical Enginering Design Focus On Teams, Problem Identification, And Project Selection Factors (e.g. Design, Technical, Market, Regulatory). An In-depth Presentation For This Material Is Unique Among Existing Design Texts And Has Been Included Because More And More Undergraduate Bme Programs Are Requiring Students To Find Their Own Capstone Projects. The Following Six Chapters Follow The General Order Of A Junior Or Senior (or Both) Design Sequence In Biomedical Engineering. The First Seven Chapters, Or A Part Of Them, Can Be Used For Lower Level Students, As Freshmen And Sophomore Design Classes Are Emerging In Many Biomedical Engineering Programs. The Last Chapter, Beyond The Academic Year, Summarizes The Various Commercialization Activities That Would Enable Capstone Projects To Reach The Medical Device Market. Includes Numerous Examples Of How Technical Engineering Material May Be Integrated Into The Design Process Each Chapter Contains Case Studies From Both Industry And Academia Highlighting Interesting Ways To Navigate Various Stages Of Design Or Communicate Design Decisions Includes Topics Rarely Addressed In Other Bme Design Texts, Such As Packaging Design, Testing, And Sterilization Methods Provides Strong Coverage Of International Markets, Standards, And Regulatory Requirements 1.
