Welcome to 2.75 and 6.971

The 2.75 and 6.971 classes brings together physicians from Boston-area hospitals and MIT engineering students to develop new medical devices. Physicians present initial ideas of a tool or a device that could be used to solve problems in medicine. Student teams, with the guidance of instructors, work over the course of one semester to turn these ideas into reality. Over the past few years, this class has become a highly effective mechanism for generating new research ideas and collaborations.

There are two flavors of instruction. 2.75 is geared towards mechanical engineering students, while 6.971 is geared towards electrical engineering students. Both classes are grad H-level, but a few undergraduates will be accepted. Students from both classes will work together on their projects reflecting the fact the many problem require complementry expertise in multiple disciplines. The lectures will also be combined to give students a breadth of knowledge, while mechanical and electrical students will follow separate laboratory exercises.
