This paper presents the development of a high-precision eye measurement medical device as a multidisciplinary capstone design project that required high technology and its educational implications. This medical measurement device development project, which was conducted over three years, involved students from the Department of Computer Engineering and the Department of Design Engineering collaborating to develop a high-precision non-contact vision facial measurement prototype requested by the medical industry. In the initial Version 1, it was produced as a medical device that measured the important MRD1 (Margin Reflex Distance) and MRD2 values of both eyes using a single camera. In Version 2, two cameras were used to individually capture each eye to improve the resolution and measurement accuracy. Finally, in Version 3, one more camera was added to capture the entire face, developing an AI and vision technology-based medical device that utilizes a total of three cameras to provide more comprehensive and precise facial and eye measurement functions. In terms of division of roles, the Design Engineering students were in charge of the exterior design and 3D printing of the device, while the Computer Engineering students were in charge of camera and LED integration, AI and advanced vision algorithm application, and overall application software development. This case study presents the possibility of developing technology applicable to the actual medical field and educational implications through the effectiveness of multidisciplinary convergence education and a step-by-step/sequential development approach to meet the needs of the medical industry that requires cutting-edge technology.
