 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a critical need to improve biomedical engineering education and the ability of biomedical engineers and project teams to translate new ideas into innovative, new medical devices and technologies that better meet healthcare needs in the United States. Biomedical engineers must be able to work on diverse, multidisciplinary project teams, communicate with team members and other personnel, and understand the economic, legal, regulatory, environmental, and social constraints of medical device design. They also must be able to carry out all phases of the design process from needs finding to commercialization of new products. The goal of the proposed project is to continue to improve the preparation of biomedical engineering graduates to design, develop, and commercialize new medical devices and technologies that will significantly impact public health. This will be accomplished by building upon the successful results of the first four years of the currently funded program (R25 EB013070) and implementing additional enhancements to the undergraduate biomedical engineering design curriculum at Marquette University (MU). These enhancements will build upon existing collaborations with new and established partners, and result in students' improved understanding of how to translate new devices and technologies from the laboratory to the bedside. The Specific Aims of the proposed new project include 1) expand students' knowledge of clinical procedures and the clinical environment, and develop their problem identification and needs finding skills, 2) improve the preparation of students to successfully translate and commercialize their design ideas for established or start-up medical device companies by developing their knowledge of current product development practices and design transfer and commercialization activities as part of multidisciplinary project teams, 3) expand students' experience with the entire product development process by adding value proposition creation and lean methods to the currently required design activities, 4) continue to expand students' knowledge of legal and ethical issues by providing them with strategies for dealing with unethical behavior in the work place, and 5) provide students with opportunities to develop design solutions to open- ended problems that can significantly improve health care in underserved populations or help a single client with unmet needs (assistive technology projects) to show students how their work as biomedical engineers can directly improve public health and the lives of others.

 描述（由申请人提供）：迫切需要提高生物医学工程教育以及生物医学工程师和项目团队将新想法转化为创新的新医疗设备和技术的能力，以更好地满足美国的医疗保健需求。生物医学工程师必须能够在多元化、多学科的项目团队中工作，与团队成员和其他人员沟通，并了解医疗器械设计的经济、法律、监管、环境和社会约束。他们还必须能够执行从需求发现到新产品商业化的设计过程的所有阶段。 拟议项目的目标是继续提高生物医学工程毕业生的准备能力，以设计、开发和商业化将显着影响公共健康的新医疗设备和技术。这将通过在目前资助的项目 (R25 EB013070) 前四年的成功成果的基础上实现，并对马凯特大学 (MU) 的本科生生物医学工程设计课程进行额外的改进。 这些增强功能将建立在与新老合作伙伴的现有合作基础上，使学生更好地了解如何将新设备和技术从实验室转化为临床应用。 拟议新项目的具体目标包括 1) 扩展学生对临床程序和临床环境的了解，并培养他们识别问题和寻找需求的技能；2) 作为多学科项目团队的一部分，通过发展学生对当前产品开发实践以及设计转移和商业化活动的知识，提高学生为已成立或初创医疗器械公司成功转化和商业化其设计理念的准备；3) 通过增加价值主张创造和精益，扩展学生在整个产品开发过程中的经验。 方法，4）通过为学生提供处理工作场所不道德行为的策略，继续扩大学生对法律和道德问题的了解，5）为学生提供开发开放式问题的设计解决方案的机会，这些解决方案可以显着改善服务不足人群的医疗保健或帮助需求未得到满足的单个客户（辅助技术项目），向学生展示他们作为生物医学工程师的工作如何能够直接改善公共健康和他人的生活。
