DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application proposes a new undergraduate training program entitled "Clinical Research Experience for Engineers." The objective of the CREE program is to provide undergraduate bioengineers with the interdisciplinary training needed to prepare them for addressing complex biomedical and health care problems in their careers. With the recent addition of an undergraduate Bioengineering program at University of Washington (UW), the opportunity now exists to extend and expand the interdisciplinary culture of the Bioengineering Department at the UW into the undergraduate curriculum. The current undergraduate Bioengineering curriculum focuses on providing the students with didactic courses in engineering and biological sciences fundamentals plus intensive research and design projects. The majority of the current research projects done by undergraduates in Bioengineering focus on engineering and basic science problems. The proposed CREE program would provide the opportunity for 12 undergraduate engineers each year to do a three-month clinical research project during the summer between their junior and senior years. They would be co-mentored by a bioengineering faculty member and a clinical faculty member. During their summer traineeship, in addition to their research project, they would also participate in a one-week course on medical diagnostics, a weekly communication skills workshop, lectures on research safety and ethics, and a seminar series. It is anticipated that in many cases the CREE summer research project will evolve into the student's senior capstone project. The hands-on clinical summer research projects will provide the students with an understanding of the challenges and opportunities in health care, allowing them to see how they can contribute to solving complex clinical problems via new software, instruments, devices, drugs, procedures, technologies, etc. This, in combination with the existing undergraduate curriculum, will provide Bioengineering students at the UW with the interdisciplinary training they need to move on to Ph.D., M.D. and M.D./Ph.D. graduate programs at leading universities or to engineering jobs in the biomedical industry.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该申请提出了一项新的本科培训计划，名为“工程师的临床研究经验”。 CREE计划的目的是为本科生物工程提供所需的跨学科培训，以准备解决其职业生涯中复杂的生物医学和医疗保健问题。随着最近在华盛顿大学（UW）增加了本科生物工程计划，现在存在扩展和扩展UW生物工程系的跨学科文化的机会，将其扩展到本科课程中。目前的本科生物工程课程致力于为学生提供工程和生物科学基础知识的教学课程以及密集研究和设计项目。本科生在生物工程领域所做的大多数研究项目都集中在工程和基础科学问题上。拟议的CREE计划将为每年的12名本科工程师提供机会，在大三和高年级之间的夏季进行三个月的临床研究项目。他们将由生物工程教职员工和临床教职员工共同授予他们。在他们的夏季培训期间，除了研究项目外，他们还将参加为期一周的医学诊断课程，每周的沟通技巧研讨会，研究安全和道德的讲座以及研讨会系列。可以预计，在许多情况下，Cree Summer Research项目将演变为学生的高级顶峰项目。动手临床夏季研究项目将为学生提供对医疗保健领域的挑战和机遇的了解，使他们能够通过新软件，工具，设备，药物，程序，技术等有助于解决复杂的临床问题。与现有的本科课程相结合，将在UW上为您提供phor the Uw and the Uw and the Interdissdibsdibsdibsdibsirdive the dydissdibsdibsdibsirdipsdibsdibsdibsirdipsdissdissdissdibsdiss训练。 M.D./PH.D。领先的大学的研究生课程或生物医学行业的工程工作。
