The two ways that we research/generate concepts
Engineering
Prototype Arm
Reading about the concepts surrounding prosthetic arms AND performing experiments on prosthetic arms
Learning about prosthetics, bioengineering, biomaterials, etc. is part of this step of the engineering design process
Design a prototype prosthetic arm that will throw 5 meters
Ask why things occur and attempts to answer those things
Using biology to help design and build technology for the human body
Design technologies using scientific knowledge/concepts to solve a societal problem
The device an engineer builds/designs
Replacement of an extremity (like a leg or arm)
When engineers copy designs they see in nature
Any material that is intended to come into contact with a body is a...
Figuring out how to design the prosthetic arm, size, materials, etc.
Smaller version of the real technology. What we will build
Actual engineered arm made from synthetic materials. We will not make this type of arm.
