This process has spanned over a 10-month period and has involved starting from the initial stages of problem identification all the way to producing physical prototypes of a medical device that can be patented and submitted for FDA approval. The year long design program has given me the opportunity to gain exposure and experience in:- Organizing biweekly gate presentations- Completion of required written documents and product testing for faculty mentors to review- Prototype design - Trade show commercialization materials- Budget proposals and material processing quotes from current medical device manufacturers- Gantt Chart- Market analysis- Proposed production plans - Verification and Validation testing- Marketing and video production design for medical device consumers Show less
