Project Examples
Projects can come from anywhere within a company, including R&D groups, Manufacturing, Quality, Preclinical, Regulatory, or others, and can include skills related to design, fabrication, automation, testing, material characterization, exploratory research, data analysis, and more.
Some generic examples of projects that have been proposed and performed through the MEDITEC program include:
- Design and fabricate a manufacturing aid to assist operators with assembly
- Test material characteristics of a device component
- Design a system to automate or semi-automate an existing manual process
- Optimize a protocol for a series of operations required on the manufacturing floor
- Design and fabricate a fixture to accommodate fatigue testing of a device
- Develop an analytical model to help understand and predict device interactions
- Evaluate cytotoxicity and other cell interactions with various biomaterials
- Design and prototype novel product concepts
- Evaluate new fabrication techniques for device manufacturing
- Compile a database of specific regulatory guidelines and information for a particular application in designated areas of the world
- Explore novel technologies and perform proof of concept testing to identify viable options
