BMET3921/9921 (Biomedical Design and Technology) is a key unit in the Biomedical Engineering program, providing students with the necessary skills and experience for the biomedical industry and research. Through real-world design projects led by clinicians, this unit takes a student-centered approach to develop graduates professionally. The assessments in this unit reflect students’ consultations with stakeholders, their understanding of engineering design, and their ability to communicate innovative ideas. Students gain hands-on experience, improve interpersonal and communication skills, and work in teams over a 13-week period. This successful model may be applicable in other teaching contexts.
