PROJECT 4:Anchor _GoBack _GoBack
Project Title: "Wild Card" Design Competition
Sponsor:To be determined
Contact:Later
Problem statement:
Not all good ideas come out of Professor's heads! This is an opportunity to propose an approach to an unsolved problem in clinical application of biomaterials to problems of disability and disease in the human musculoskeletal system. If you have an idea in this area and are of an adventurous nature, prepare a submission.
Details: Prepare a write up of 200-300 words, with at least 5 references, describing the clinical problem (unmet need), contemporary (historical) approaches to the problem and some possible conceptual approaches (no details, please!) to a possible engineering solution. Please submit these to Professor Black as soon as possible but absolutely no later than August 31st, 2013. He will select the most promising submission, as quickly as possible, and select interested students to form a team suitable for achieving a design solution within the constraints of the MEng program. If the project is suitable and has commercial potential, he will also seek an industrial sponsor
Project field: Problem and application analysis, device design, in vitro testing, biomechanics/biomaterials (orthopaedic),
Team requirements: This is will be a team project for 3-5 people with various engineering and (possibly) biological backgrounds. Team members will be selected with backgrounds to suit the proposed problem.
