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?
