Title: Evaluate the constraints and criteria of each solution to the design problem.
Course: Biomedical Engineering (21049) > Section: Using the Engineering Design Process to Solve a Biomedical Problem

Evaluation should include constraints and criteria related to

•    human factors
•    environmental effects
•    societal effects
•    ethical and legal issues
•    sustainability
•    cost and budget
•    manufacturability (e.g., scaling up)
•    time requirements and limitations
•    resources needed, including their availability.

Process/Skill Questions:

•    Why should one analyze the constraints and criteria of the various solutions?
•    What might be the consequences of not analyzing the constraints and criteria?
•    Why is sustainability an important issue?
•    How do constraints and criteria change due to time limitations?
•    What are the challenges when integrating multiple engineering areas?
•    What human factors should be considered in designing for visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments?
•    Why is it important to know about human physiology in design?
