DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The senior Capstone Design course in Biomedical Engineering is the culminating experience for the students, and the year-long design course provides all project teams with a real-world opportunity to solve an open-ended problem as identified by individuals with disabilities, or by community groups whose mission is to help those with disabilities. Evaluation of the initial course offering indicated an opportunity for improvements in education and team design by expanding the project scope to include expertise from electrical and computer engineering students and mentors. From this new collaboration, students will gain valuable skills from areas outside of their primary field, and itis expected that the level of project design will improve. The overall goal of this program is to buil a dynamic Senior Design program that fosters multi-disciplinary efforts at the student, mentor and University level, and promotes outreach to the disabled community. We plan to accomplish this through the following specific objectives: 1. Require multi-disciplinary teams that will desig, build and test a device. 2. Expand University and community collaborations to include expertise in electrical and computer engineering. 3. Encourage early participation of BME juniors through a summer design program. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Multi-disciplinary teams of engineers and other specialties are typically employed in industry and research to develop the advancements in medical device design. All students in this program will similarly be placed on multi-disciplinary teams, work with students with complementary skills, and design a device with a targeted goal of helping those with disabilities. The proposed improvements to the design course will better prepare graduates to make a significant contribution to the advancement of human health. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This program will build on the initial strengths of the senior Capstone Design course series and expand the project scope to include expertise from electrical and computer engineering students and mentors. This added technical skill will improve the quality of final projects that student teams are able to deliver to the clients with disabilities, and better prepare students for their future biomedical careers. The program also implements a new Summer Design program where juniors can get early design training by refining the devices left by seniors before delivery to the intended clients.

描述（由申请人提供）：生物医学工程高级顶点设计课程是学生的终极体验，为期一年的设计课程为所有项目团队提供了一个现实世界的机会，以解决残疾人或其使命是帮助残疾人的社区团体所确定的开放式问题。对初步课程的评价表明，通过扩大项目范围，将电气和计算机工程专业学生和导师的专门知识包括在内，有机会改进教育和团队设计。通过这种新的合作，学生将从他们的主要领域之外的领域获得宝贵的技能，预计项目设计水平将得到提高。该计划的总体目标是建立一个充满活力的高级设计计划，促进学生，导师和大学层面的多学科努力，并促进与残疾人社区的联系。我们计划通过以下具体目标来实现这一目标：1.需要多学科团队来设计、构建和测试设备。2.扩大大学和社区的合作，包括在电气和计算机工程的专业知识。3.通过夏季设计计划鼓励BME大三学生的早期参与。公共卫生关系：由工程师和其他专业人员组成的多学科团队通常用于工业和研究，以发展医疗器械设计的进步。该计划中的所有学生将同样被置于多学科团队中，与具有互补技能的学生一起工作，并设计一种具有帮助残疾人的目标的设备。对设计课程的拟议改进将使毕业生更好地为促进人类健康做出重大贡献。 公共卫生相关性：该计划将建立在高级顶点设计课程系列的初始优势基础上，并扩大项目范围，包括电气和计算机工程专业的学生和导师的专业知识。这种额外的技术技能将提高学生团队能够向残疾客户提供的最终项目的质量，并为学生未来的生物医学职业做好更好的准备。该计划还实施了一个新的夏季设计计划，在交付给目标客户之前，大三学生可以通过改进大四学生留下的设备来获得早期设计培训。
