The objectives of this project are to identify the ways biomedical engineers contribute to surgical device design and propose methods of integrating design training into WPI's undergraduate biomedical engineering program. WPI's program is compared with ABET-accredited and other non-accredited programs. Interviews of design engineers and physicians are used to define the biomedical engineer's role in the medical device industry. The project shows that WPI's undergraduate program could benefit from a more educational relationship with the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.
