2.75 (G-H) | 2.750 (UG CI-M) | HST.552

Each fall we bring together clinicians, industry partners and MIT engineers to develop new medical devices that solve real clinical challenges brought to us by clinicians and industry partners. This is a senior capstone and graduate-level course.









Projects are presented at the beginning of the term, teams are formed and for the next twelve weeks teams follow a structured design process that culminates in a proof-of-concept prototype. Projects identified to have a significant impact, a committed team and a viable market can be continued into the spring term for the next level implementation.

Since 2004, this class has become a highly effective mechanism for fostering new research ideas and collaborations, with papers published, IP created and some of the projects receiving subsequent funding and launching as startups.
