Prosthetic Arm

Generate Concepts (Research)

Identify the Problem

The two ways that we research/generate concepts

Prototype Arm

Develop a Solution

bioengineering

Prosthetic

Engineering

Figuring out how to design the prosthetic arm, size, materials, etc.

Using biology to help design and build technology for the human body

Smaller version of the real technology. What we will build

Reading about the concepts surrounding prosthetic arms AND performing experiments on prosthetic arms

The device an engineer builds/designs

Any material that is intended to come into contact with a body is a...

Learning about prosthetics, bioengineering, biomaterials, etc. is part of this step of the engineering design process

Ask why things occur and attempts to answer those things

Design technologies using scientific knowledge/concepts to solve a societal problem

Actual engineered arm made from synthetic materials. We will not make this type of arm.

When engineers copy designs they see in nature

Replacement of an extremity (like a leg or arm)

Design a prototype prosthetic arm that will throw 5 meters
