Performance should include collecting and analyzing data for use in designing solutions (e.g., stress, strain, and failure of biomaterial).
Process/Skill Questions:
• What equipment is typically used for mechanical testing of biomaterials?
• How does biomaterial failure affect iteration of design?
• What is material variability? How does it affect mechanical failure of biomaterials?
• What mechanical tests can be conducted on potential biomaterials? How could potentially implantable biomaterials be mechanically tested?
• How is the reliability of biomaterial testing data determined?
