Engineering - Engineering Technology (58)A partnership between medical device companies and a group of community/technical colleges forms the medical device industry education consortium (MDIEC). The consortium is creating a learning and innovation network to build the first degree programs that incorporate the regulatory and quality topics integral to all aspects of medical device operations. This involves designing, developing, and delivering curricula in the following areas: (1) medical device technologies and quality systems; (2) medical device document/information management; and (3) clinical data management for product design, development, and approval. The consortium, MDIEC, is building national initiatives through an existing network of regional industry/college alliances. MDIEC colleges are located in regions with a high concentration of medical device-related firms. These firms, along with their extensive base of suppliers, are adding significant numbers of technicians. An external evaluator is conducting formative and summative evaluation activities and the approach relies on participatory research and is concentrating primarily on measuring the benefits to students and companies. A website is being established to communicate information to all MDIEC colleges, industry partners, and prospective students. The U.S. colleges and industry are also partnering with companies in Denmark and Ireland to ensure an international perspective.

工程-工程技术(58)医疗器械公司和一群社区/技术学院之间的合作伙伴关系形成了医疗器械行业教育联盟(MDIEC)。该联盟正在创建一个学习和创新网络，以建立第一个学位课程，将监管和质量主题纳入医疗器械运营的所有方面。这涉及设计、开发和提供以下领域的课程：(1)医疗器械技术和质量体系；(2)医疗器械文件/信息管理；(3)产品设计、开发和批准的临床数据管理。该联盟，MDIEC，正在通过现有的地区性产业/大学联盟网络建立国家倡议。MDIEC学院位于医疗器械相关公司高度集中的地区。这些公司，连同他们广泛的供应商基础，正在增加大量的技术人员。一名外部评估员正在进行形成性和终结性评估活动，该方法依赖参与性研究，主要集中于衡量学生和公司的收益。正在建立一个网站，以便与所有MDIEC学院、行业合作伙伴和潜在学生交流信息。美国高校和产业界也在与丹麦和爱尔兰的公司合作，以确保具有国际视野。
