Course: Biomedical Engineering (21049) > Section: Using the Engineering Design Process to Solve a Biomedical Problem

Documenting the design process includes keeping a detailed design notebook with regular dated entries, with information such as

•    diagrams, sketches
•    research findings
•    interview information
•    contacts
•    test results
•    calculations
•    procedures
•    obstacles encountered with solutions.

Process/Skill Questions:

•    How can a design notebook affect intellectual property (i.e., patents)?
•    What details should go into a design notebook?
•    How often should one make entries in a design notebook?
•    What use is the design notebook to the designer?
