Learning Outcomes

Student has collected, combined and explained the planning process stages of a medical device from an idea to a final product including regulatory aspects and risk analysis. Student has collected data and compiled review reports in groups which include patent and market surveys and survey requirements for the application and the biomedical device. Student has critically overviewed scientific articles and different databases for the information retrieval. As a part of a group student has planned and prepared schedule, budget, and workflow for the project. Student has presented group work as written document and as an oral presentation in seminar. Student has also assessed the work of other groups and received criticism.
