Abstract The Biomolecular Science and Engineering Training Program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) is dedicated to the education of a broad and diverse pool of predoctoral students at the interface of biology, chemistry and engineering, focusing on the quantitative linkages that define this interface and prepare trainees for careers in biotechnology. The Program’s overarching objective is to provide the trainees with a keen understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of research, how it depends on fundamental underpinnings in both science and engineering, how it leads to innovative new scientific advances and technologies, and how basic science and engineering research can lead to new discoveries and commercial products that benefit society. The Training Program has been designed with key Program objectives to provide each trainee with a strong foundation in rigorous experimental design emphasizing rigor and reproducibility: to conduct ethical, responsible and productive predoctoral research with integrity and appropriate time-to-degree; to communicate and work effectively in teams with a diverse and broad pool of colleagues with multicultural sophistication; and to gain broad knowledge, professional skills and experiences for diverse careers in biomedical research. Our Training Program at RPI increases interactions among students from four departments: Biological Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Chemistry and Chemical Biology, through courses, structured activities, research mentoring and training, and industrial experiences. Key activities of the Training Program include the following 12 Action Items: [A1] a core course entitled “Perspectives in Biomolecular Science and Engineering” that is taken by all trainees; [A2] a set of four courses that maximize didactic training among the key disciplines; [A3] a daylong technology commercialization boot camp to learn about fundamentals of intellectual property and participate in an entrepreneurial program; [A4] a high-profile seminar series that provides exposure to contemporary research in academia and industry; [A5] a student-run seminar program, in which trainees present their research to their peers and Program faculty; [A6] exposure to enrichment activities about human health, physiology, and disease, thereby promoting a healthcare innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem; [A7] an annual retreat to network externally and hold discussions on contemporary research areas and careers in biotechnology; [A8] dual advising and multidisciplinary thesis committee membership for Ph.D. thesis work; [A9] an industrial internship; [A10] international Experience; [A11] training in responsible conduct of research, scientific rigor and reproducibility; and [A12] participation in a set of activities personalized for induvial development. Program committees and a trained evaluator conduct evaluations of the training process and outcomes to ensures that the trainees satisfy these requirements and that the overall Program goal and objectives are met through continuous process improvement.

摘要 伦斯勒理工学院（RPI）的生物分子科学与工程培训计划是 致力于在生物学的接口广泛和多样化的博士前学生池的教育， 化学和工程，侧重于定义这个接口和培养学员的定量联系 生物技术的职业。该计划的首要目标是为学员提供一个敏锐的 了解研究的跨学科性质，它如何依赖于两个基本基础 科学和工程，它如何导致创新的新的科学进步和技术，以及如何基本 科学和工程研究可以带来新的发现和有益于社会的商业产品。 培训计划的主要目标是为每位学员提供一个强大的 以严格的实验设计为基础，强调严谨性和可重复性：进行道德， 负责和富有成效的博士前研究与诚信和适当的时间来度;沟通 并与具有多元文化素养的多元化和广泛的同事团队有效地工作;以及 获得广泛的知识，专业技能和经验，在生物医学研究的不同职业。 我们在RPI的培训计划增加了来自四个部门的学生之间的互动：生物 科学、生物医学工程、化学和生物工程以及化学和化学 生物学，通过课程，结构化活动，研究指导和培训，以及工业经验。 培训方案的主要活动包括以下12个行动项目： 所有学员都参加的“生物分子科学与工程展望”; [A2]一套四门课程 最大限度地提高关键学科的教学培训; [A3]为期一天的技术商业化靴子 学习知识产权基本知识并参加创业计划的夏令营; [A4] a 高调的研讨会系列，提供接触学术界和工业界的当代研究; [A5] a 学生管理的研讨会项目，学员向同行和项目教师展示他们的研究; [A6] 接触有关人类健康、生理和疾病的丰富活动，从而促进 医疗保健创新和创业生态系统; [A7]年度静修，以建立外部网络并举办 讨论生物技术的当代研究领域和职业; [A8] 多学科博士论文委员会成员[A9][A10][A11][A12] 国际经验; [A11]在负责任地开展研究、科学严谨性和可重复性方面的培训; 和[A12]参与一系列针对行业发展的个性化活动。计划委员会和 经过培训的评估员对培训过程和结果进行评估，以确保受训人员满足 这些要求，并通过持续的过程满足总体计划目标和目的 改进.
