Biomedical Engineering for Global Health (bGlobal) exposes students to the realities of healthcare in different settings in Southeast Asia and around the world by taking students on an immersion trip to a resource-constrained country, then requiring a semester-long project upon their return to Singapore to address problems they have identified. In this course, students will have the opportunity to directly observe healthcare at multiple modalities in a resource-constrained environment. Students will learn strategies for identifying problems that can be approached from an engineering standpoint, to brainstorm with stakeholders on how to cth a faculty member on prototyping these solutions. 

Learning Outcome: 

• Describe and justify the role of biomedical engineering and design in Global Health 
• Evaluate the current healthcare system in a developing country to identify opportunities for impact 
• Apply their knowledge to independently lead a project focused on utilising biomedical engineering principles to solve a problem identified in a resource-constrained country
