Fall: 2.75 - 6.525 (G-H), 2.750 - 6.025J (UG CI-M)
Design of Medical Devices
Since 2004 the course has partnered with CIMIT to bring together Boston-area physicians and MIT engineering students in developing new medical devices. Physicians present their particular challenges then student teams work with them during the course of a semester to develop solutions.
Over the past years, this class has become a highly effective mechanism for generating new research ideas and collaborations with patents filed and many of the projects receiving subsequent funding and accelerating from prototypes toproducts.
Projects identified to have a significant impact with a viable market can be continued into the spring term for the next level implimentation.
2.750 is an alternative to the ME 2.009 requirement
