Medtech Prototyping Skills (GE)

Description from DukeHub

This course focuses on developing medical device prototyping skills that will be used in future project and design courses, with a focus on preparing our students for positions in the medtech industry. Students will work individually to complete design tasks in a mechanical design (CAD and 3D printing), ECAD (circuit schematic capture and PCB layout), version control (git) and firmware development. Each student will design and fabricate a device they have designed that incorporates all of these components. Prerequisite: EGR103 or EGR 105L or CS 201 (GE).

AI-resilient: 1 of 5 1/5

• ✓Yes: Physical, lab or field work · "laboratory"
• No: Live work with people
• No: Judgment someone is accountable for
• No: A craft you practice with your hands or body
• No: Small, in-person format

The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
