Ran in 3 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: scheduled, 2 lecture sections. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.

The course covers topics related to product design and regulatory processes as it pertains to biomedical devices. Various regulatory pathways will be covered and how these regulations influence design and development will be explored. Students will gain an understanding of the engineering processes necessary to ensure safety and efficacy during commercialization of novel biomedical products by examining regulatory processes, design controls, risks assessments, non-clinical testing, design verification and validation strategies, and postmarket requirements.

Hi i’m a prospective exchange student and i’m trying to find the BME361 Course Outline! 5 points, 3 comments

u/ghostground: “… The course that i’m looking at is BME361 - Biomedical Engineering Design. If anyone has the detailed course outline/syllabus, I would really appreciate it if you could send it over! …”

u/watson-and-crick: “u/bmeorbust do you still have anything lying around?”

u/BME_or_Bust: “Sorry no :( BME 361 is just a design project, I don’t think I even looked at the syllabus”
