Course Outline

Many successful designs and startups begin in university years. This course involves projects that are led by students and aims at accelerating them to prepare for engineering medical innovation in which teams of students will design and develop clinically-driven and client-centered engineering innovations for the future of medicine & healthcare. This course aims at enabling students to master design-thinking and, by following a problem-based group approach, apply it to the broad medical fields. Students must form groups of size 3 to 5 to develop from an idea to become viable medical device in the market. In the process, students will work on ideas, market research, prototyping, developing operation strategies, conducting pilot tests, designing market survey and preparing business proposal to sell their product or ideas. Upon completing this course, students should have acquired engineering design skills and entrepreneurship skills that are directly transferable to further innovation work.
