Engineering Design
Engineers often build this early version of a design to test ideas before making a final project
What is a prototype? (CAD?)
Artificial replacements for body parts like hips, knees, or teeth are called these.
What are prostheses?
This component resists the flow of current and outputs voltage
What are resistors?
This type of joint allow rotations mainly in one direction similar to a door opening and closing
What is a hinge joint?
This system combines the Skeletal and Muscular systems together
What is The Musculoskeletal System?
The first step of engineering design involves identifying the problem
What is Gap, Scope, Need?
These materials are designed to interact safely with the human body and are used in implants or medical devices.
What are biomaterials?
This device stores electrical energy in an electric field and is commonly used in filters
What are capacitors?
This joint type allows bones to slide past each other with small movements
What are planar (glide) joints?
This value determines how many axis a joint can rotate around or move along
What are degrees of freedom?
The process that involves repeatedly improving a design after testing and receiving feedback
What are iterations?
This metal is commonly used in hip and knee implants
What is titanium?
This device stores electrical energy in a magnetic field
What are inductors
The shoulder and hip are examples of this highly mobile joint type.
What are ball and socket joints?
This type of engineering works with the properties of materials
What is MSE?
These are goals or statistics that engineers must work towards
What are objectives
This common biomaterial is used for contact lenses and soft tissue implants because it can hold a lot of water
What is a hydrogel?
ECG and EMG are this type of signals
What are analog signals?
This joint allows for one bone to rotate around another, like turning your head left and right
What is a pivot joint?
These calculations can be done to determine the position of the robot
What are forward and inverse kinematics?
These define how the design should work or achieve
What are functions?
When the body does not reject an implanted material, it is said to have this property
What is bio compatibility?
Digital signals are represented as these values
What are 0s and 1s?
What is a condyloid joint?
Who is Isabella, Mahir and Shrena?
