 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the proposed work is to create a clinical and entrepreneurial immersion program to provide engineers with an interdisciplinary and innovative senior design experience. North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NCA&T), a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) with a rich history and legacy of producing the largest number of African Americans with degrees in engineering. Unfortunately, access to clinical resources like translational researchers has been limited. In thi proposal, we will leverage the strengths of NC A&T, and the educational resources of the Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute (NC TraCS), at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), to equip future engineers with the outstanding clinical, entrepreneurial, and research skills necessary to identify and develop clinically relevant advances in biomedical engineering. Successful implementation of the proposed work will increase the pool of talented minority engineers in the fields of biomedical sciences and engineering, and create a sustainable model for preparing future engineering students for entrepreneurship in the biomedical sciences. This proposal will combine the Chemical and Bioengineering students in their final year of training into one year-long (9 month) course to create interdisciplinary capstone design teams. The Senior Capstone design classes will include didactic lectures on student project management, communication, and problem solving skills. The investigators have significant experience in biomedical engineering design and innovation, and in senior design instruction. Students will also benefit from NCA&T's institutional environment that fosters team work and complete student development, and from perspectives gained during immersion in the UNC Hospitals. It is expected that 20-30 students will participate in this experience annually. The specific aims for the proposed work are to: 1. Provide a team-based interdisciplinary design experience that addresses clinically- and industrially relevant problems. 2. Develop a clinical immersion experience (CIE) with colleagues at NC TraCS that will inform identification of potential projects and prepare students to consider clinical and

 描述（由申请人提供）：拟议工作的总体目标是创建一个临床和创业浸入式项目，为工程师提供跨学科和创新的高级设计经验，北卡罗来纳州农业技术州立大学（NCA&T）是一所历史悠久的黑人学院。或大学 (HBCU) 拥有丰富的历史和遗产，培养了最多数量的非裔美国人获得工程学位。不幸的是，获得转化研究人员等临床资源的机会有限。在本提案中，我们将利用 NC 的优势。 A&T 以及北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校 (UNC-CH) 转化与临床科学研究所 (NC TraCS) 的教育资源，为未来的工程师提供识别所需的杰出临床、创业和研究技能并在生物医学工程领域取得临床相关进展。拟议工作的成功实施将增加生物医学科学和工程领域的少数族裔工程师人才库，并为未来的工程学生在生物医学科学领域的创业创造一个可持续的模式。将结合化学高级顶点设计课程将包括有关学生项目管理、沟通和解决问题技能的教学讲座。学生还将受益于 NCA&T 促进团队合作和学生全面发展的机构环境，以及在 UNC 医院的沉浸式体验中获得的丰富经验。每年将有 20-30 名学生参与此项体验，拟议工作的具体目标是： 1. 提供基于团队的跨学科设计体验，解决临床和工业相关问题。 2. 开发临床沉浸式体验 (CIE)。与 NC TraCS 的同事合作，为潜在项目的识别提供信息，并帮助学生做好考虑临床和
