项目摘要

PI: Mitra, KunalProposal Number: 1403345A BS program in Biomedical Engineering started at Florida Institute of Technology in the Fall 2012 semester. The strategic vision for the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Florida Tech is to advance healthcare by integrating education, discovery, innovation and entrepreneurship. The objective of this proposal is to develop a novel approach to senior year capstone design projects for students enrolled in BS in Biomedical Engineering by engaging the local medical community and industry representative. The capstone design project is structured as a three-semester sequence beginning in the spring semester of the junior year and introduces students to the team approach for problem solution. Every year a student Design Showcase is organized where all capstone projects are presented in a poster format setting sometimes with working breadboard designs. Members of industry are invited to attend the showcase to judge projects and speak to students and faculty.Intellectual Merit:A unique aspect of the proposed senior capstone design project is that it will be guided jointly by Florida Tech faculty and practicing physicians and as well as industry professional supporting the project. The physicians along with the faculty and industry representative will provide presentations of case studies to the students during the junior year. Then during that semester, the students will be required to develop proposals and to make presentations that will be evaluated by the participating faculty and physicians. In their senior year, students on multidisciplinary teams will execute the projects under supervision of participating faculty and physicians. In order to better prepare students for the capstone project, a clinical immersion experience is proposed. As part of clinical immersion period during summer at end of the junior year, eight to ten undergraduate students entering their senior year will be invited each year to participate in six or seven weeks program to observe the clinical activities, acquire communication skills necessary to interact with clinicians, and identify needs that can subsequently be addressed in their biomedical design projects. The clinical immersions will be held at organizations such as Orlando VA Medical Center, Brevard Rehabilitation Medicine, HealthSouth Sea Pines Rehabilitation Hospital, NASA Kennedy Space Center, and The Back Center. While this approach may be common in universities with medical schools, such an approach for a university without a medical school is unique and is being proposed for conducting team-based senior year design projects. The goal of the clinical immersion program is to provide opportunity to students to interact with the physicians so as to understand the working principles and any limitations of existing technologies and this in turn will trigger discussions and need to develop new design projects. The students interested in developing the entrepreneurial dreams will be provided an opportunity to take elective courses in Junior and Senior Year offered through Business Incubator Center.Broader Impacts:This development of devices which will aid persons with disabilities will (a) provide a practical engineering experience as well as a personally rewarding experience to the student; this may also encourage them to use their specialized skills in the future to benefit individuals with disabilities; (b) to help individuals with disabilities become more independent by designing and building custom assistive technology devices that address their needs; (c) to facilitate learning and reflection about the daily life of an individual who has a disability, as well as the daily lives of the family members, therapists and educators who are in close contact with them. Students develop their teamwork and communication skills (both oral and written), learn about the product development process used in industry, and are made aware of the unique requirements and constraints of medical device design thereby preparing them for careers in biomedical engineering.
PI: Mitra, KunalProposal Number: 14033452012年秋季学期,佛罗里达理工学院开始了生物医学工程学士学位课程。佛罗里达理工大学生物医学工程系的战略愿景是通过整合教育、发现、创新和创业精神来推进医疗保健。该提案的目的是通过与当地医学界和行业代表的合作,为生物医学工程学士学位的学生开发一种新的方法来完成高年级的顶点设计项目。顶点设计项目的结构为三个学期的序列,从大三的春季学期开始,向学生介绍解决问题的团队方法。每年都会组织一次学生设计展示会,所有顶点项目都以海报形式呈现,有时还会有工作面包板设计。行业成员被邀请参加展示来评判项目,并与学生和教师交谈。智力优势:这个被提议的高级顶点设计项目的独特之处在于,它将由佛罗里达理工学院的教师和执业医生以及支持该项目的行业专业人士共同指导。医生和教师以及行业代表将在大三期间为学生提供案例研究报告。然后在那个学期,学生将被要求提出建议并做报告,这些报告将由参与的教师和医生进行评估。在大四的时候,学生将在多学科团队的指导下完成项目。为了让学生更好地为顶点项目做准备,我们建议学生进行临床浸入式体验。作为大三末暑期临床浸入期的一部分,每年将邀请八到十名进入大四的本科生参加六到七周的临床活动,学习与临床医生互动所需的沟通技巧,并确定随后可在其生物医学设计项目中解决的需求。临床体验将在奥兰多VA医疗中心、Brevard康复医学、HealthSouth Sea Pines康复医院、NASA肯尼迪航天中心和The Back中心等组织举行。虽然这种方法在有医学院的大学中可能很常见,但对于没有医学院的大学来说,这种方法是独特的,并且正在建议进行基于团队的大四设计项目。临床沉浸式课程的目标是为学生提供与医生互动的机会,以便了解工作原理和现有技术的任何限制,这反过来将引发讨论并需要开发新的设计项目。有兴趣发展创业梦想的学生将有机会参加创业孵化中心在大三和大四提供的选修课程。更广泛的影响:这种将帮助残疾人的设备的开发将(a)为学生提供实际的工程经验以及个人的有益经验;这也可能鼓励他们将来利用自己的专业技能来造福残疾人;(b)透过设计及制造切合残疾人士需要的定制辅助科技装置,帮助他们变得更独立;(c)协助学习和思考残疾人士的日常生活,以及与其有密切接触的家庭成员、治疗师和教育工作者的日常生活。学生发展他们的团队合作和沟通技巧(口头和书面),了解工业中使用的产品开发过程,并了解医疗设备设计的独特要求和限制,从而为他们在生物医学工程领域的职业生涯做好准备。
