Class of 2024 BIOMED Senior Design Showcase

BIOMED Senior Design Showcase

Senior Design Showcase

The capstone Senior Design Showcase is our way of providing a forum in which the project engineers (i.e., the students) can communicate their results to the community.

Each biomedical engineering student researches different aspects of the project to shape the design. Our design-centered curriculum cherishes and promotes this active involvement and creativity of the students.

Below you can explore each team's design canvas to learn more. A design canvas is a visual tool to communicate each phase of the design process of how the team designed a viable solution to a real-world healthcare need.

DrExcel Health Projects

DrExcel HEALTH  is a Drexel University College of Medicine student organization that, among other things, recruits practicing medical doctors and teams of medical students to work together with our senior design teams.

It provides an opportunity for our biomedical engineering students to work with doctors and medical students to identify a problem and develop a solution. Participating biomedical engineering teams (noted below) receive additional funding.
