{"product_id":"9781598292923","title":"Capstone Design Courses","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides ideas for how to organize, structure, and manage a senior capstone design course for biomedical and other engineering students. It will be helpful to faculty who are creating a new design course, expanding a current design program to more than the senior year, or just looking for some ideas for improving an existing course. Not all capstone design courses, biomedical engineering programs, and curricula are the same. Some programs emphasize preparation for employment in industry; others may focus on preparing graduates for medical school or academia. Each program has its own culture, values, and attitudes towards engineering design, which affect the level of importance and priority assigned to the senior capstone design course. Some curricula allow room for a two semester design course sequence; others may only have room for one course. What works well for one program may not work well for others. Author Jay Goldberg presents an approach to senior design courses that will help students and faculty develop their communication (written, oral, and graphical), interpersonal (teamwork, conflict management, and negotiation), project management, and design skills. These skills are needed for any career path, whether it leads to the medical device industry, medicine, law, business, or other area. Working in teams to identify problems and design, develop, and implement solutions to these problems is the best preparation for a career in biomedical engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morgan \u0026 Claypool Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036858138864,"sku":"9781598292923","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781598292923_p0.jpg?v=1763812793","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781598292923","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
