项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal describes a program in team-based design of biomedical engineering devices, dedicated to training undergraduate students. Students will participate in specialized courses in biomedical instrumentation, clinical rotation, and translational biomedical engineering. Five students will be selected to engage in a clinical immersion in the summer between the junior and senior years. The students' knowledge and experience will feed into a senior capstone design course, where they will perform open-ended design and fabricate a prototype medical device. A major goal of this research education program is to meet the demands of a growing biomedical engineering field and needs for an interdisciplinary workforce. The University of Arizona is well positioned to provide this research education program due to a strong history of biomedical engineering research, close ties (and physical proximity) between the Colleges of Engineering and Medicine, abundant resources for design and prototyping, and a strong existing interdisciplinary senior capstone design course. A graduate interdisciplinary program in biomedical engineering has served for the last 12 years as a nexus for faculty across campus who engage in biomedical engineering- related research and education, including a group of physician faculty who are committed to engineering student mentoring. The formation in the last year of a department of Biomedical Engineering and authorization of an undergraduate degree program has put into place the final pieces needed for the success of this program. Because of the relative newness of our undergraduate program, the resources from the proposed project would have a major positive impact on our students. We propose to augment BME courses with new educational material and guest speakers, provide a unique clinical immersion experience, and provide additional mentors and supply funds to students the interdisciplinary design course. This program will enable us to educate the biomedical engineers of the future, who have strong engineering design skills, knowledge of the clinical environment, and training in translational biomedical engineering that will enable them to take their devices from the laboratory to the clinic and the marketplace, positively affecting human health. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Based on Labor Department job growth projections, Biomedical engineering will lead employment growth in the next 10 years. Biomedical engineers with strong team-based design skills are needed to further medical innovation and create new medical devices. We propose an undergraduate research education plan that will educate students in the clinical environment, design process, regulatory requirements, and responsible conduct of research, culminating in a senior capstone design project.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案描述了一个基于团队的生物医学工程设备设计的程序，专门针对培训本科生。学生将参加生物医学仪器，临床旋转和转化生物医学工程的专业课程。在大三和大四的夏天，将选择五名学生参加临床沉浸。学生的知识和经验将进入高级顶峰设计课程，在那里他们将执行开放式设计并制造原型医疗设备。该研究教育计划的一个主要目标是满足不断增长的生物医学工程领域的需求，以及对跨学科劳动力的需求。由于生物医学工程研究的悠久历史，工程和医学学院之间的亲密关系（和物理接近），设计和原型设计的丰富资源以及现有的现有跨学科的高级高级帽石设计课程，因此亚利桑那大学在提供这项研究教育计划方面非常有效。在过去的12年中，一项生物医学工程的研究生跨学科课程一直担任校园教师的联系，他们从事生物医学工程 - 相关的研究和教育，包括一群致力于工程学生指导的医师教师。在本科学位课程的生物医学工程系和授权部的最后一年的成立已成为该计划成功所需的最终作品。由于我们的本科计划的相对新颖，拟议项目的资源将对我们的学生产生重大积极影响。我们建议使用新的教育材料和演讲嘉宾来增强BME课程，提供独特的临床沉浸体验，并为学生提供跨学科设计课程的其他导师并提供资金。该计划将使我们能够教育未来的生物医学工程师，他们具有强大的工程设计技能，对临床环境的知识以及转化生物医学工程的培训，这将使他们能够将其设备从实验室带到诊所和市场，从而对人类健康产生积极影响。公共卫生相关性：基于劳动部的工作增长预测，生物医学工程将在未来10年内导致就业增长。需要具有强大基于团队设计技能的生物医学工程师来进一步医疗创新并创建新的医疗设备。我们提出了一项本科研究教育计划，该计划将在临床环境，设计过程，监管要求和负责任的研究中教育学生，并在高级盖石设计项目中达到顶峰。
