Main themes
The purpose of the course is to initiate students to the design metholodogies involved in biomedical engineering, taking into account the specificities and constraints related to the area of medicine and surgery.
The main topics are:
The main topics are:
- design methods and specificities related to the area of medicine and surgery (identification of medical requirements, risk analysis, etc.)
- the constraints intrinsic to the area of medicine and surgery (biocompatibility, sterilization, accuracy and precision, ergonomics and safety, etc.)
- the industrial constraints (certification, cost, etc.).

Content
Design requires both solid methodological knowledge and many experiments in practice. With this in mind, the students will first work on new subjects such as certification, biocompatibility, risk analysis ...
Then the students will realize, in small groups, a project to design a new medical device including an original thinking on a specific medical issue in collaboration with clinicians or industry. The results of the project will be presented to the audience at the end of semester.
The entire project will be realised in collaboration with and using the software tool from Matrix Requirements: https://matrixreq.com/en/

Teaching methods
Teaching includes several sessions and seminars on main topics in the area of medicine, and a project to design of a new medical device in collaboration with clinicians or industry.
Evaluation methods
Evaluation will be continuous, based on the written reports (50%), the quality of work done during the semester (20%) and the final oral presentation (30%).
An evaluation grid will be given to students.
An evaluation grid will be given to students.
Other information
There is no prerequisite. This course is open to all who have followed training or not in mechanical or biomedical engineering. It is not necessary to have followed Machine Design LMECA2801 nor Introduction to life science FSAB1221, although these courses are interesting foundations.
