Two-quarter sequence (see OIT384 for complete description of the sequence). The second quarter focuses on how to take a conceptual solution to a medical need forward into development and potential commercialization. Continuing work in teams with engineering and medical colleagues, students will learn the fundamentals of medical device prototyping; patent strategies; advanced planning for reimbursement and FDA approval; choosing a commercialization route (licensing vs. start-up); marketing, sales and distribution strategies; ethical issues including conflict of interest; fundraising approaches and cash requirements; financial modeling; essentials of developing a business or research plan/canvas; and strategies for assembling a development team. Final project presentations are made to a panel of prominent venture and corporate investors. New students (i.e. students who did not take OIT384 in the winter quarter) may be admitted, depending on team needs. Candidates need to submit an application at

ME 377: Design Thinking Bootcamp: Experiences in Innovation and Design
Bootcamp is a fast-paced immersive experience in design thinking. You'll progress through four full cycles of the process, working with a diverse team to solve real world challenges. Field work and deep collaboration with teammates are required of all students. Tenets of design thinking including being human-centered, prototype-driven, and mindful of process. Topics include design processes, innovation methodologies, need finding, human factors, visualization, rapid prototyping, team dynamics, storytelling, and project leadership. Limited enrollment. APPLICATION REQUIRED. See http://bit.ly/dbootcamp

ME 378: Tell, Make, Engage: Action Stories for Entrepreneuring
Individual storytelling action and reflective observations gives the course an evolving framework of evaluative methods, formed and reformed by collaborative development within the class. Stories attached to an idea or a discovery, are considered through iterative narrative work and small group research projects. This course will use qualitative and quantitative methods for story engagement, assessment, and class determined research projects with practice exercises, artifacts, short papers and presentations.

ME 379: Fail Faster
Fail Faster will explore ways to: [1] become comfortable with uncertainty, [2] develop tools to navigate situations of failure, and [3] practice turning failures into opportunities. This quick-paced workshop will examine and exercise the psychological traits and the power of resilience through hands-on activities. Students will practice techniques and tools to help them navigate, bounce back, grow and even flourish in the face of their failures.
