DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In our current grant the overall goal was to increase the number of minority undergraduate students trained in biomedical engineering (BME) by building on an existing partnership, between faculty in BME at The City College of New York, a publicly funded minority-serving institution with limited resources, and researchers in currently eight of the preeminent medical research institutions in New York City. This consortium is known as the New York Center for Biomedical Engineering and is an official CUNY Institute. In the current application this goal is expanded to include internships and employment opportunities for our students in a network of major industrial firms in health care related technology and the utilization of our newly established Industry Advisory Board. The Board will provide input into our curriculum, especially with regard to our senior BME capstone design course. The renewal application also contains new strategies for retention and recruitment, the creation of a mentorship and teaching fellow program which will closely integrate each student scholar with a senior Ph.D. student and an expansion of our high school outreach program in which we will establish strategic relationships with high school guidance counselors and assistant principles of science to recruit talented high achieving students who are interested in the life sciences and/or engineering. We will also expand our collaborative partnership with STEM and the College Now program to help prepare underrepresented students for college and careers in science, engineering and mathematics. To achieve these goals we propose the following four specific objectives: 1. To build and maintain a steady state annual base of 20 high achieving minority scholars in BME who have a GPA of at least 3.0. 2. To build a mentorship and retention program in which each undergraduate scholar is under the paid supervision of an advanced BME Ph.D. student. 3. To build an industrial outreach program with select biotech companies which will provide summer Internships and design projects for the senior year design course and other feedback for improving the curriculum. 4. To expand our existing outreach program to inner-city high schools.

描述（由申请人提供）：在我们目前的赠款中，总体目标是通过建立建立现有合作伙伴关系的生物医学工程培训（BME）的少数群体本科生的数量，纽约市BME的教职员工之间，在纽约市BME的教职员工之间，这是一家公立资助的少数派资助的机构，该机构拥有有限的资源，目前是八个新的医疗研究所的研究人员。该财团被称为纽约生物医学工程中心，是官方CUNY研究所。在当前的应用中，该目标扩展到包括在医疗保健相关技术领域的主要工业公司网络以及我们新成立的行业顾问委员会的利用中，包括我们的学生的实习机会和就业机会。董事会将为我们的课程提供输入，尤其是在我们的高级BME Capstone设计课程方面。续签申请还包含保留和招聘的新策略，这是指导和教学研究员计划的创建，该计划将将每个学生学者与高级博士密切相结合。学生和我们的高中外展计划的扩展，我们将与高中指导辅导员和科学助理原则建立战略关系，以招募有才华的高级成就的学生，他们对生活科学和/或工程感兴趣。 我们还将扩大与STEM和College Now计划的合作伙伴关系，以帮助为代表性不足的学生准备科学，工程和数学的职业。为了实现这些目标，我们提出以下四个特定目标： 1。在BME中建立和维持20个高少数族裔学者的稳态年度基础，他们的GPA至少为3.0。 2。建立一个指导和保留计划，每个本科学者都在有薪的范围内 高级BME博士的监督学生。 3。与精选的生物技术公司建立工业外展计划，以提供夏季 高年级设计课程的实习和设计项目以及其他改进的反馈 课程。 4。将我们现有的外展计划扩展到市中心中学。
