Practice should include
- defining the problem (i.e., human need), including constraints and criteria
- performing background research
- generating ideas
- selecting a solution
- making the prototype
- testing the solution
- evaluating the solution.
Practice must include communicating, documenting, and reiterating the process as necessary.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What is the importance of following a defined process?
- When and how should one document the procedures in solving a problem?
- What mathematical and scientific skills are needed by biomedical engineers? How might biomedical engineers apply these skills?
- How can mathematical and scientific solutions be graphically illustrated?
- How does the end user influence the process?
