DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to develop an interdisciplinary design program that will train undergraduate students at the senior level through all the steps of the translational product design process from needs-finding to commercialization. This will be a campus-wide, integrative, interdisciplinary experience involving participants from the College of Engineering, Graduate School of Management, School of Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, Technology Transfer Office, and Design department. We will create new courses that complement existing engineering design courses and which reflect the flow of work from the clinic, to the engineering prototype, to commercialization. At the end of this sequence, students will be poised to market their work for licensing or start their own business. The new courses consist of one quarter of clinical rotations to identify unmet needs and define a problem, two quarters of instruction and mentoring through the business aspects of biomedical design, and a one-quarter collaborative experience with Design majors to develop a marketing campaign. All students in the Biomedical Engineering major (current = 55) and other interested majors are eligible to participate in these courses. For the past three years we have mentored Biomedical Engineering (BME)-Mechanical Engineering (MAE) joint senior design teams, and anticipate the greatest outside interest from this major, but our goal over the 5 yr project is to recruit additional engineering departments to participate as relevant to project needs. In addition, a novel summer clinical rotation/film internship will be offered, open to 8 undergraduates entering their senior year. The students, working in teams, will spend 6 weeks in a clinical immersion, biomedical device, needs-finding experience for which they must produce a video that captures the key observations/conversations that lead to identification of unmet needs. The resulting videos will be used to supply the clinical rotation/needs-finding experience for a future frosh-level design course. ) PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed program describes a hands-on training program for biomedical and other engineering students that teaches them about all the steps required to develop devices for use in the clinic. The students will learn to develop solutions to problems in human health, and understand the pathway that leads from the early phase of "having an idea" to finally offering a finished product for the clinic. This training will provide well-trained engineers to tackle the health problems of the future.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议制定一项跨学科设计计划，该计划将在高级级别的本科生培训转化产品设计过程的所有步骤，从需求调查到商业化。这将是整个校园，综合，跨学科的经验，涉及工程学院，管理研究生学院，医学院，兽医学院，技术转移办公室和设计部门的参与者。我们将创建新课程，以补充现有的工程设计课程，并反映从诊所，工程原型到商业化的工作流程。在此序列结束时，学生将有望销售其工作以进行许可或开始自己的业务。新课程包括四分之一的临床轮换，以确定未满足的需求并通过生物医学设计的业务方面定义了一个季度的指导和指导，以及与设计专业的四分之一合作经验，以开发营销活动。生物医学工程专业的所有学生（当前= 55）和其他感兴趣的专业学生都有资格参加这些课程。在过去的三年中，我们指导了生物医学工程（BME）机械工程（MAE）联合高级设计团队，并预测这一专业的最大外部兴趣，但我们对5年项目的目标是招募其他工程部门以与项目需求相关。此外，还将提供一项新颖的夏季临床轮换/电影实习，开放给8名进入高年级的大学生。在团队中工作的学生将在临床沉浸式，生物医学设备以及需求的体验中度过6周，他们必须制作一个视频，以捕获关键的观察/对话，从而导致确定未满足的需求。由此产生的视频将用于为未来的Frosh级设计课程提供临床轮换/需求找到体验。 ） 公共卫生相关性：拟议的计划描述了针对生物医学和其他工程专业学生的动手培训计划，该计划向他们讲述了开发用于诊所使用的设备所需的所有步骤。学生将学会为人类健康问题开发解决方案，并了解从“有想法”的早期阶段的途径，最终为诊所提供成品。这项培训将为训练有素的工程师提供解决未来的健康问题。
