Often in the academic arena, biomedical engineering (BME) students identify unmet needs in a course and then do not have an avenue to pursue those ideas into a design-based course. Through funding from an NIH R25 Educational Grant the BME Department at the University of Delaware (UD) is building a bridge between two courses, Clinical Immersion for Engineers (BMEG350) and Senior Design (BMEG450), to translate umnet clinical needs into design projects. This paper discusses the two courses and how the unmet needs are bridged into Senior Design.
