This three-year REU site, Inclusion and Innovation in Medical Devices, at the University of Massachusetts Lowell will provide undergraduate students with a unique opportunity to explore innovations in medical devices in a multidisciplinary environment and to pursue advanced education, research, and careers in STEM fields. The ten-week summer program provides REU students with opportunities to engage in various research projects in biomedical engineering with a focus on medical devices. Students will learn how human factors engineering can address diversity and inclusion, preventing bias in medical products as well as designing diversity and inclusion into universal technology. They will participate in research studies, professional development, and social activities, and network with industry professionals. The research program will enhance the ability of students to undertake interdisciplinary research through cutting-edge projects that focus on the innovative engineering of medical devices. The program also aims to inspire students to pursue advanced education, research, and careers in STEM fields.This three-year REU site, Inclusion and Innovation in Medical Devices, at the University of Massachusetts Lowell will provide undergraduate students with a unique opportunity to explore innovations in medical devices in a multidisciplinary environment and to pursue advanced education, research, and careers in STEM fields. The REU site will host 8 undergraduate students for 10 weeks each summer and offer various research projects in diverse yet cohesive themes in biomedical engineering with a focus on medical devices. Students will participate in research, professional development, and social activities and will have the opportunity to network with industry professionals. The project aims to educate and train students in equity, diversity, and inclusion through active participation in Inclusive Innovation of Medical Devices, Bystander Training, and Racism in Science workshops. This REU Site pursues inclusion and innovation in medical devices through multidisciplinary approaches. Students will learn about integrating physics, chemistry, and engineering to tackle medical problems, and how human factors engineering can address diversity and inclusion, preventing bias in medical products. The research program will enhance the ability of students to undertake interdisciplinary research through cutting-edge projects that focus on the innovative engineering of medical devices. The program also aims to inspire students to pursue advanced education, research, and careers in STEM fields.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

马萨诸塞州洛厄尔大学的这个为期三年的REU网站--医疗器械的包容与创新--将为本科生提供一个独特的机会，在多学科环境中探索医疗器械的创新，并在STEM领域追求高级教育、研究和职业。为期十周的暑期项目为REU学生提供了参与各种生物医学工程研究项目的机会，重点是医疗器械。学生将学习人因工程如何解决多样性和包容性，防止医疗产品中的偏见，以及如何将多样性和包容性设计为通用技术。他们将参与研究、专业发展和社会活动，并与行业专业人士建立网络。该研究计划将通过专注于医疗器械创新工程的尖端项目，增强学生进行跨学科研究的能力。该项目还旨在激励学生在STEM领域追求高级教育、研究和职业。马萨诸塞州洛厄尔大学这个为期三年的REU网站-医疗器械包容和创新-将为本科生提供一个独特的机会，在多学科环境中探索医疗器械创新，并在STEM领域追求高级教育、研究和职业生涯。REU网站每年夏天将接待8名本科生，为期10周，并提供各种不同但具有凝聚力的生物医学工程主题的研究项目，重点是医疗器械。学生将参与研究、专业发展和社会活动，并将有机会与行业专业人士建立网络联系。该项目旨在通过积极参与医疗器械的包容性创新、旁观者培训和科学研讨会中的种族主义，在公平、多样性和包容性方面教育和培训学生。这个REU网站通过多学科的方法追求医疗器械的包容性和创新。学生将学习如何整合物理、化学和工程学来解决医学问题，以及人的因素工程学如何解决多样性和包容性，防止医疗产品中的偏见。该研究计划将通过专注于医疗器械创新工程的尖端项目，增强学生进行跨学科研究的能力。该计划还旨在激励学生在STEM领域追求更高的教育、研究和职业生涯。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
