Courses
BME 443 - Biomedical Device Design and Technology Development
Design methodology; recognizing and defining open-ended biomedical engineering problems, problem definition, concept generation, project planning, modelling, analysis, decision making, design synthesis, prototyping and testing. Topics may include identifying market needs, idea generation, biologically inspired design, human factors related to design, regulatory issues, intellectual property protection, clinical trials, and commercialization considerations. Credit cannot be obtained for both BME 443 and BME 643.

BME 653 - Biomedical Engineering Research Methods and Experimental Design
Introduction to the fundamental principles of experimental design, hypothesis formulation, data collection, statistical analysis, literature search and review, developing a research plan, and scientific communications and reporting applied to bioengineering research. Introduction to the ethical issues encountered in biomedical research with human and animal subjects including informed consent, confidentiality, privacy, and research ethics boards.
MEC E 468 - Numerical Simulation in Mechanical Engineering Design
Computer modelling in mechanical engineering. Simulation of mechanisms. Stress analysis and heat transfer using commercial software. Emphasis is on numerical model design including testing and verification methods, and the critical interpretation of the computed results. Credit cannot be obtained in both MEC E 468 and 568. Prerequisites: MEC E 265, 362, 370 or 371, 380, 390.
