Title: Define a biomedical engineering design problem.
Course: Biomedical Engineering (21049) > Section: Using the Engineering Design Process to Solve a Biomedical Problem

Definition should include

- the essential components of a biomedical engineering design problem
- the reasons it is important to have a clear concept of a problem before attempting to solve it
- an explanation of a biomedical engineering design brief (i.e., a statement that explains what the solution to a biomedical engineering design problem must accomplish)
- essential components of a design brief.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why is it important to have a clear definition of a problem before attempting to solve it?
- What might be the consequences of not having a clear concept of a biomedical engineering design problem before attempting to solve it?
- How can a biomedical engineering design problem be stated succinctly?
- How is a design brief used in a biomedical engineering design process?
- How does iteration address lack of clarity in the original problem statement?
