DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our proposal aims at redefining the essence of team-based Senior Design projects in Biomedical Engineering and is based on the realization that in addition to the basic technical, communication and interpersonal skills acquired in a typical 4-year engineering curriculum, successful careers in the health industry require an understanding of how a business functions (marketing and sales, accounting and finance, and operations) and familiarity with the legal, regulatory, and economic constraints affecting patient care device design and development. While Biomedical Engineers need not become experts in all the above, it is critical for them to understand and appreciate these issues. The goal of this proposal is to implement a new Senior Design experience for BME students focused on the integration of biomedical engineering and clinical disciplines with translation of innovation to industry. There are three specific aims: Aim 1: To incorporate basic aspects of translational medicine and innovation commercialization into the lecture component of the Senior Design course. The lecture component, which is primarily given in the fall semester of the senior year, will be overhauled to include lectures given by instructors from the medical and business schools. Aim 2: To increase the clinical significance of Senior Design projects offered to BME seniors. Students will be able to apply for a clinical immersion program in the summer prior to their senior year and will be encouraged to identify needs that can be addressed through biomedical engineering solutions. Medical and Business School faculty, as well as industrial advisors will be invited to develop and mentor senior design projects. Aim 3: To provide a path for translation and commercialization for the most successful senior design projects. A selection process will be implemented whereby about 20% of the projects will be selected at the end of the fall semester for matching with an entrepreneurship course where they become case studies for marketing and financial analysis. At the end of the spring, one or two projects will be further evaluated and pushed towards actual commercialization. The program participants will be the entire senior class of BME students at Rutgers, and the program will be run through the collaborative efforts of the Rutgers Center for Innovative Ventures of Emerging Technology, the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Rutgers, the Robert Wood Johnson School of Medicine, and the Rutgers Business School. Students will tremendously benefit from the proposed upgrade to the Senior Design course because they will be working on projects that are better tailored towards the needs of patients and physicians. They will also get a better understanding of the down-to-earth practical - yet critical - non-technical issues that must be considered when designing new products, such as the competition, market acceptance, cost, and other related considerations.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的提案旨在重新定义生物医学工程中基于团队的高级设计项目的本质，并且基于这样的认识：除了在典型的 4 年工程中获得的基本技术、沟通和人际交往能力之外通过课程，健康行业的成功职业需要了解企业的​​运作方式（营销和销售、会计和财务以及运营），并熟悉影响患者护理设备设计和开发的法律、监管和经济约束。虽然生物医学工程师不需要成为上述所有方面的专家，但理解和认识这些问题对他们来说至关重要。本提案的目标 旨在为 BME 学生实施新的高级设计体验，重点关注生物医学工程和临床学科的整合以及将创新转化为行业。有三个具体目标： 目标 1：将转化医学和创新商业化的基本方面纳入高级设计课程的讲座部分。讲座部分主要在高年级秋季学期进行，将进行彻底改革，以包括来自医学院和商学院的讲师的讲座。目标 2：提高向 BME 老年人提供的高级设计项目的临床意义。学生将能够在高年级之前的夏季申请临床浸入式课程，并鼓励学生确定可以通过生物医学工程解决方案解决的需求。医学院和商学院的教师以及工业顾问将被邀请开发和指导高级设计项目。目标3：为最成功的高级设计项目提供转化和商业化的途径。将实施筛选流程，秋季学期末将选出约 20% 的项目，与创业课程相匹配，成为营销和财务分析的案例研究。春季结束时，一两个项目将得到进一步评估并推动实际商业化。该项目的参与者将是罗格斯大学 BME 的全体高年级学生，该项目将通过罗格斯新兴技术创新创业中心、罗格斯大学生物医学工程系、罗伯特伍德约翰逊学院的共同努力进行。医学和罗格斯商学院。学生将从拟议的高级设计课程升级中受益匪浅，因为他们将从事更适合患者和医生需求的项目。他们还将更好地了解设计新产品时必须考虑的实际但关键的非技术问题，例如竞争、市场接受度、成本和其他相关考虑因素。
