Course Description
This course has students apply their accumulated knowledge, experience, and expertise in biomedical engineering technology to research and develop a practical, working project which may be of their own choosing (subject to prior faculty approval). Students are expected to work in teams with up to 3 members.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will be able to: 1. Validate research and development in biomedical engineering technology. 2. Display project planning and management skills. 3. Invent a working device or system. 4. Verify the principles of their project. 5. Support any and all applicable safety considerations. 6. Defend decisions (and product) through appropriate, accurate, and concise. communications addressing technical as well as business-related issues.

Essential Employability Skills (EES)

The student will reliably demonstrate the ability to: 1. Communicate clearly, concisely, and correctly in the written, spoken, and visual form that fulfills the purpose and meets the needs of the audience. 2. Respond to written, spoken, or visual messages in a manner that ensures effective communication. 3. Execute mathematical operations accurately. 4. Apply a systematic approach to solve problems. 5. Use a variety of thinking skills to anticipate and solve problems. 6. Locate, select, organize, and document information using appropriate technology and information systems. 7. Analyze, evaluate, and apply relevant information from a variety of sources. 8. Interact with others in groups or teams in ways that contribute to effective working relationships and the achievement of goals. 9. Manage the use of time and other resources to complete projects. 10. Take responsibility for ones own actions, decisions, and consequences.

All marking will take into consideration criteria including (but not limited to) communication abilities (both written and verbal), technical aptitude and correctness, and punctuality. In addition, students will be required to demonstrate understanding and sensitivity to the economic and business-related aspects of their project. In consultation with the Chair or Dean, a faculty member or instructor may administer additional or alternative evaluations to fully assess the capability of a student. When writing a test or examination, students must put their official College photo-ID cards in full view for review by the invigilator. Students who do not have official photo-ID will be permitted to write the examination with a substitute photo-ID, but they will be required to produce photo-ID at the program or department office within 24 hours or the next business day following the examination, or else the examination results will be void.

Student Accommodation
All students have the right to study in an environment that is free from discrimination and/or harassment. It is College Policy to provide accommodation based on grounds defined in the Ontario Human Rights Code. Accommodation may include changes or modifications to standard practices. This document is available in alternative formats upon request. Please contact the originating department or school of study. Students with disabilities who require academic accommodations must register with the Centre for Student with Disabilities. Please see the Centre for Students with Disabilities for details. Students requiring accommodation based on human rights grounds should talk with their professors as early as possible. Details are available on the Centennial College website (www.centennialcollege.ca ).

If students are unable to write an examination due to a medical problem or unforeseen family problems, they should immediately contact their professor or program Chair for advice. In exceptional and well documented circumstances (e.g. unexpected family problems, serious illness, or death of a close family member), students should be able to write a make-up examination to replace an examination missed.

Use of Dictionaries
1. Any dictionary (hard copy or electronic) may be used in regular class work. 2. English-Additional Language (e.g. English- or Additional Language-English (e.g. ) English) dictionaries may be used in regular class work. -

Student Rights and Responsibilities

Students should familiarize themselves with all College Policies that cover students rights and responsibilities. For more information on the following and other policies, please visit www.centennialcollege.ca/aboutus/respect or consult the Academic Matters Section in the fulltime and Continuing Education catalogues. Respect at Centennial At Centennial College, we are committed to providing a safe and respectful learning, teaching and working environment for all students, faculty, and staff that promotes equity. Policies have been put in place to ensure that Centennial is a place that demonstrates respect and consistency with the Ontario Human Rights Code. All incidents of harassment, discrimination, bullying, and violence will be addressed and responded to. As a college, we take the position that all forms of harassment, including personal harassment and bullying, must be stopped. Please refer to www.centennialcollege.ca/aboutus/respect and www.stopbullyingnow.ca. Academic Honesty Academic honesty is integral to the learning process and a necessary ingredient of academic integrity. Students have a responsibility to be aware of and comply with College standards of academic conduct. Academic dishonesty includes cheating, plagiarism, and impersonation. All of these occur when the work of others is presented by a student as their own and/or without citing sources of information. Breaches of academic honesty will be investigated and if warranted, appropriate remedies and penalties will be applied, which may include a failing grade on the assignment/course, suspension, or expulsion from the college. Grades Appeal Students and faculty have rights and responsibilities in the Grades Appeal process. Students who need to appeal a grade should consult the Grades Appeal policy and procedures. Progression and Academic Standing Students are expected to meet the academic standards of their School or program. The academic standing of each Centennial student is monitored during, as well as at the end of, each semester. Any student not demonstrating satisfactory progress will be informed of his/her standing in the College and will receive academic advising within their School. Unsatisfactory academic performance may result in conditional academic standing, probation, or suspension.

Faculty Support
Professors are available to see students outside of class time. Students can contact professors via voice mail, email, or through their program or department office. Information regarding how to contact teachers will be provided at the beginning of the course and is also available in the program or department office.

Campus Safety
As part of our efforts to maintain a safe and secure teaching, learning and working environment, professors, and instructors will review emergency procedures for fire, evacuations, emergency lock-downs, and safe exit for those with disabilities at the beginning of each course. Students must produce official photo identification when requested to do so by any college staff at any time during the semester.
