Four-Week Internship Plan: PAF-IAST:-PHC

This four week internship plan is designed for students of BS Biomedical Engineering Technology who have completed second year of their degree program and studies courses like; AutoCAD, Basic Electrical Engineering, and Biomedical Instrumentation. The focus areas of the internship include schematic planning, designing layouts, and medical equipment layout.

1. Identify relevant skills/tools for assigned tasks. (ILO1)
2. Implement knowledge regarding assigned tasks. (ILO1)
3. Comprehend problems and execute logical solutions. (ILO2)
4. Demonstrate the ability to work professionally and communicate effectively. (ILO3)

Week 1: Orientation and Tools Familiarization

• Introduction to internship facility and safety protocols.
• Overview of biomedical equipment layout requirements and medical facility standards.
• Hands-on sessions on AutoCAD and schematic design software.
• Review of basic electrical concepts relevant to hospital and laboratory environments.

Week 2: Schematic Planning and Technical Sketching

• Understand functional and spatial requirements for medical environments (e.g., ICUs, OTs, diagnostic labs).
• Create initial schematic diagrams and equipment zoning using AutoCAD.
• Interpret biomedical equipment specifications and their spatial/electrical requirements.
• Collaborate in teams for peer review of initial designs and incorporate feedback.

Week 3: Designing Equipment Layouts

• Draft detailed equipment layout plans integrating schematic inputs.
• Factor in considerations like power supply routes, safety margins, signal lines, and patient ergonomics.
• Identify design challenges and participate in brainstorming for optimal solutions.
• Document all designs and rationale in a structured technical format.

Week 4: Finalization and Presentation

• Finalize layout designs based on feedback from technical supervisors.
• Compile complete documentation including schematics, equipment layouts, and technical justifications.
• Prepare and deliver a formal presentation of the internship project.
