Abstract The Biomolecular Science and Engineering Training Program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) is dedicated to the education of a broad and diverse pool of predoctoral students at the interface of biology, chemistry and engineering, focusing on the quantitative linkages that define this interface and prepare trainees for careers in biotechnology. The Program’s overarching objective is to provide the trainees with a keen understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of research, how it depends on fundamental underpinnings in both science and engineering, how it leads to innovative new scientific advances and technologies, and how basic science and engineering research can lead to new discoveries and commercial products that benefit society. The Training Program has been designed with key Program objectives to provide each trainee with a strong foundation in rigorous experimental design emphasizing rigor and reproducibility: to conduct ethical, responsible and productive predoctoral research with integrity and appropriate time-to-degree; to communicate and work effectively in teams with a diverse and broad pool of colleagues with multicultural sophistication; and to gain broad knowledge, professional skills and experiences for diverse careers in biomedical research. Our Training Program at RPI increases interactions among students from four departments: Biological Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Chemistry and Chemical Biology, through courses, structured activities, research mentoring and training, and industrial experiences. Key activities of the Training Program include the following 12 Action Items: [A1] a core course entitled “Perspectives in Biomolecular Science and Engineering” that is taken by all trainees; [A2] a set of four courses that maximize didactic training among the key disciplines; [A3] a daylong technology commercialization boot camp to learn about fundamentals of intellectual property and participate in an entrepreneurial program; [A4] a high-profile seminar series that provides exposure to contemporary research in academia and industry; [A5] a student-run seminar program, in which trainees present their research to their peers and Program faculty; [A6] exposure to enrichment activities about human health, physiology, and disease, thereby promoting a healthcare innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem; [A7] an annual retreat to network externally and hold discussions on contemporary research areas and careers in biotechnology; [A8] dual advising and multidisciplinary thesis committee membership for Ph.D. thesis work; [A9] an industrial internship; [A10] international Experience; [A11] training in responsible conduct of research, scientific rigor and reproducibility; and [A12] participation in a set of activities personalized for induvial development. Program committees and a trained evaluator conduct evaluations of the training process and outcomes to ensures that the trainees satisfy these requirements and that the overall Program goal and objectives are met through continuous process improvement.

抽象的 伦斯勒理工学院（RPI）的生物分子科学与工程培训计划是 致力于在生物学界面上教育广泛而多样的学生的教育， 化学和工程学，重点介绍定义该界面并准备受训者的定量联系 生物技术职业。该计划的总体目标是为受训者提供敏锐的 了解研究的跨学科性质，如何取决于两者的基本基础 科学与工程，如何导致创新的新科学进步和技术，以及如何基础 科学与工程研究可以导致新发现和有益于社会的商业产品。 该培训计划的设计具有关键的计划目标，可为每个学员提供强大的目标 严格的实验设计的基础强调严格和可重复性：进行道德， 负责任和产品前研究的诚信和适当的时间级研究；进行交流 并有效地在与潜水员和广泛的具有多元文化社会化的同事的团队中工作；和 为生物医学研究中的潜水职业获得广泛的知识，专业技能和经验。 我们在RPI的培训计划增加了来自四个部门的学生之间的互动：生物学 科学，生物医学工程，化学和生物工程以及化学与化学 生物学通过课程，结构化活动，研究心理和培训以及工业经验。 培训计划的关键活动包括以下12个动作项目：[A1] 所有学员都采取的“生物分子科学与工程学的观点”； [A2]一组四门课程 在关键学科中最大程度地进行教学培训； [A3]一整天的技术商业化启动 训练营了解知识产权的基本知识和参与企业家计划； [A4] a 备受瞩目的半身系列赛，可在学术界和行业中接受当代研究； [a5] a 学生经营的开创性计划，学员将他们的研究介绍给同龄人和计划教师； [A6] 暴露于有关人类健康，生理和疾病的富集活动，从而促进 医疗创新和企业家生态系统； [A7]年度撤退到外部网络并保持 关于当代研究领域和生物技术职业的讨论； [A8]双重咨询和 博士多学科论文委员会会员资格论文工作； [A9]工业实习； [A10] 国际经验； [A11]负责任进行研究，科学严谨性和可重复性的培训； [A12]参与了一系列为induvial开发的个性化活动。计划委员会和 受过训练的评估对培训过程和成果进行评估，以确保学员满意 这些要求，并通过连续过程实现总体计划和目标 改进。
