Biomedical engineering design is a course that required a practical application of several skills learned from previous biomedical courses in order to find a solution to a current medical problem.  Solving such problems required the cooperation of several individuals in a group to generate a variety of different ideas that were then discussed in order to narrow them down to a single optimal solution that would be not only feasible, but also tailored to be a practical product that would satisfy the needs of a particular “customer” that faces the proposed issue.  Our group in particular tackled the issues faced by visually impaired patients when navigating around an indoor area.  We proposed a device that would be capable of navigating and avoiding obstacles without the need for human input.
