SUMMARY:Metro Atlanta GSPE Meeting: Medical Device Engineering: From Innovation to Development
DESCRIPTION:Medical Device Innovation\, Regulation\, and Design\nGSPE Atlanta Metro Chapter Dinner Meeting \nDate: Monday\, November 9\, 2026\nTime: 6:00–8:00 PM\nLocation: Piccadilly Cafeteria\, 2000 Crescent Centre Blvd.\, Tucker\, GA 30084\nCost: Free to attend; dinner available for purchase\nPDH Credit: 1 PDH \nFeatured Speaker\nMichael A. Fisher\, BS\, MS\nProfessor of the Practice\nWallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering\nGeorgia Institute of Technology and Emory University \nAbout the Presentation\nMedical device engineering brings together innovation\, design\, manufacturing\, and regulatory compliance to develop technologies that improve patient care. \nJoin the GSPE Atlanta Metro Chapter for a presentation exploring the medical device development process\, from identifying unmet clinical needs and evaluating existing technologies to establishing design requirements and navigating FDA regulations. \nMichael Fisher will discuss the legal definition of medical devices\, how products are regulated\, and the tools engineers use to identify opportunities for innovation. Attendees will learn about defining user needs\, establishing design inputs\, and applying the regulatory design and development process to bring new medical products to market. \nThe presentation will also explore how regulatory requirements and established engineering best practices intersect\, along with the importance of professionalism in medical device development. \nEngineers from all disciplines are encouraged to attend. Questions and discussion are welcome throughout the presentation. \nAbout the Speaker\nMichael Fisher is a Professor of the Practice in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University and Director of Georgia Tech’s Master of Biomedical Innovation and Development program. \nHe brings 25 years of medical product development experience spanning industry\, engineering consulting\, and academia. His career includes work with Johnson & Johnson\, Becton Dickinson\, and Georgia Tech’s Global Center for Medical Innovation (GCMI). \nDuring his eight years of leadership at GCMI\, the organization generated more than $26 million in revenue\, secured 23 issued U.S. patents\, and helped establish five companies that collectively raised more than $100 million in venture investment. \nFisher holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Engineering Mechanics from Virginia Tech. \nMeeting Schedule\n\n6:00 PM – Networking\n6:25 PM – Chapter announcements\n6:30 PM – Dinner\n7:00 PM – Presentation\n7:50 PM – Closing announcements\n\nGSPE Atlanta Metro Chapter meetings are open to professional engineers\, aspiring PEs\, engineering students\, and the general public. There is no charge to attend\, and the presentation qualifies for one Professional Development Hour (PDH).
