Title: Create a prototype for the chosen solution to the design problem, using appropriate materials and processes (e.g., 3D rapid prototyping).
Course: Biomedical Engineering (21049) > Section: Using the Engineering Design Process to Solve a Biomedical Problem

Creation should include

•    explaining the importance of creating a prototype and benchmark
•    identifying standard methods for creating a prototype and benchmark
•    listing the materials and processes required
•    describing why each material and process is needed
•    using computer software to create a prototype
•    constructing the prototype so that it demonstrates the effectiveness of the solution.

Process/Skill Questions:

•    What is the purpose of constructing a model or prototype for the chosen solution? What can it show?
•    What are the common limitations of modeling and prototyping?
•    How can one determine which materials and processes are needed for the construction of the model or prototype? How would the availability of materials guide this determination?
