Explores the structure and function of the human body to facilitate understanding of the body's interface with product design. Bone, muscle, neural, circulatory, and digestive systems will be studied and considered with respect to product design-oriented tasks such as mobility, seating, physical tasks, digital and electronic interactions, etc.
This course is supplemental to PRD 221 Product Design Studio II, serving as an introduction to basic concepts of user experience (UX) design. Students will learn how to create engaging interactions between users and products/services through a holistic user-centered approach to design. Students will examine the history and evolution of user experience design and define key terms associated with the field.

This one credit course will provide examples of contemporary clinical and healthcare practices where biomedical engineering solutions have either been successfully employed or there is an opportunity for biomedical engineering solutions to solve an existing need in healthcare. The course will consist of classroom lectures combined with visits to the hospital for observation.
This course reviews the fundamental scientific principles in biomedical instrumentation, links these principles to key engineering parameters quantifying metrics of human wellness, and introduces students to the instrumentation permitting empirical measurement of these parameters. Lectures supplemented with laboratory experiences.
A survey of current materials, processes, techniques and equipment used in the design of products for mass production. A significant portion of the design process is devoted to manufacturing questions - how materials are selected, shaped, and then assembled. Structure, properties and function of metals, polymers, ceramics, and biological materials will be covered. This course will include field visits to manufacturing facilities.
