Jill Higginson and her team have received a 5-year educational grant from NIH to incorporate practical clinical design experience into UD’s Biomedical Engineering curriculum. The plan is to expand the BME interdisciplinary senior design program to include clinically motivated projects identified during previous clinical immersion experiences. Within the context of this design project, students will identify the significance of the unmet clinical need, determine the impact of finding a practical solution, outline the design constraints, and generate a working prototype as a solution to the unmet clinical need.
