Project Summary Capstone Senior Design courses enable bioengineering (BIOE) seniors to engage with the design process and apply technical fundamentals and industry related topics, ultimately generating a functional prototype. Our capstone program at Rice University, solicits project ideas from research faculty, physicians, and industry leaders. Interdisciplinary teams drive the prototype development throughout the year and submit oral presentation and documentation deliverables. Students in our capstone program enjoy immense advantage offered by a well-equipped design facility and infrastructure at Rice University to support projects from the Texas Medical Center, home to the world’s largest children’s and cancer hospital and the largest medical city in the world. These strengths, along with the cross-disciplinary teams (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and global health technologies) rigorous senior design documentation, and oral deliverables, lead to teams placing nationally in competitions each year. Effective capstone program design, however, demands an engaged clinical experience, an area lacking in many existing programs, including ours. To address this, we propose the creation of a novel clinical immersion program with a focus on human centered design and inequities in healthcare delivery. Our program will consist of a cohort of five bioengineering seniors selected through an application process and 3 pediatric residents from Baylor College of Medicine. The cohort will attend didactic lectures on topics such as design process, needs finding, inequities in healthcare delivery, universal design, storyboarding, stakeholder communication and design de-risking. Students will apply their learnings by immersive engagement in two clinical environments: 1) Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in Texas Children’s Hospital and 2) Texas Heart Institute. Exercises such as iterative storyboarding, daily individual and group reflections and case study research on the evolution of a device design will elucidate areas of clinical challenges and critical context that can be discussed daily with faculty mentors. These exercises will also serve as student artifacts to be shared with all members of the senior design course followed by formative quiz assessments. Two unique features of our clinical immersion program include a) use of a coproduction model of education that involves equal involvement of students in program design resulting in increased ownership and engagement among the cohort1 and b) involvement of pediatric residents in observations and discussions with the bioengineering students offering an active discussion about different aspects of the clinical challenge. Through our clinical immersion program, the cohort will have the ability to engage in conversations with a diverse set of stakeholders not limited to medical practitioners. Ultimately, students will identify a set of unmet clinical needs reflecting inequities in healthcare delivery and perspectives not addressed previously. This program highlighting the inequities in healthcare deliveries will train BIOE students to develop human centered biomedical solutions.

项目概要 Capstone 高级设计课程使生物工程 (BIOE) 高年级学生能够参与设计 处理和应用技术基础知识和行业相关主题，最终生成功能性的 我们在莱斯大学的顶点项目向研究人员、医生征求项目想法， 和行业领导者全年推动原型开发。 提交口头陈述和文件交付成果 我们的顶点课程的学生享受巨大的乐趣。 莱斯大学设备齐全的设计设施和基础设施为支持项目提供了优势 来自德克萨斯医疗中心，该中心拥有世界上最大的儿童和癌症医院以及最大的 这些优势以及跨学科团队（机械工程、 电气工程和全球健康技术）严格的高级设计文件和口头 可交付成果，使团队每年在全国比赛中名列前茅。 然而，有效的顶点计划设计需要积极的临床经验，而这是一个缺乏的领域 为了解决这个问题，我们建议创建一种新颖的临床方案。 沉浸式项目，重点关注以人为本的设计和医疗保健服务中的不平等。 该计划将由通过申请流程选出的五名生物工程高年级学生和 3 名学生组成 贝勒医学院的儿科住院医师将参加有关以下主题的教学讲座。 设计流程、需求发现、医疗保健提供中的不平等、通用设计、故事板、利益相关者 沟通和设计降低风险，学生将通过沉浸式参与其中来应用他们所学到的知识。 临床环境：1) 德克萨斯州儿童医院的儿科重症监护室和 2) 德克萨斯州心脏研究所。 迭代故事板、日常个人和小组反思以及案例研究等练习 设备设计的演变将阐明临床挑战领域和可以讨论的关键背景 这些练习也将作为学生的作品与所有成员分享。 高级设计课程以及形成性测验评估是我们临床的两个独特之处。 浸入式项目包括 a) 使用共同生产的教育模式，其中包括平等参与 学生参与项目设计，从而提高群体的主人翁意识和参与度1和b) 儿科住院医师参与与生物工程专业学生的观察和讨论 通过我们的临床浸入式计划，对临床挑战的不同方面进行积极讨论。 该群体将有能力与不同的利益相关者进行对话，不仅限于 最终，学生将确定一系列未满足的临床需求，反映了不平等现象。 该计划强调了以前未涉及的医疗保健服务和观点。 医疗保健服务将培训 BIOE 学生开发以人为本的生物医学解决方案。
