Title: Design a solution for a regenerative medicine problem.
Course: Biomedical Engineering (21049) > Section: Exploring Cell and Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

Design should include

•    defining the problem
•    performing background research
•    generating ideas
•    selecting a solution
•    exploring alternatives to the design solution using computation or mathematics
•    justifying the design
•    sketching the prototype
•    developing the prototype
•    conceiving a test protocol
•    documenting the process.

Process/Skill Questions:

•    What are the consequences of not following a defined process?
•    What are the challenges of designing a regenerative medicine solution?
•    How can biostatistics and mathematical modeling be used to study artificial tissues?
•    When would it be appropriate to use computation? When would it be appropriate to use mathematics?
•    What are the benefits and limitations of regenerative medicine vs. artificial organs? What are the benefits and limitations of using modeling to find alternative solutions?
•    Why are alternative solutions important?
•    What skill sets are needed for problem solving in regenerative medicine?
