PROJECT SUMMARY: “A BIODESIGN PROGRAM IN REAHABILITATION ENGINEERING” The development of “A Biodesign Program in Rehabilitation Engineering” structured to train interdisciplinary undergraduate students in the design, innovation and commercialization of assistive and rehabilitative medical devices for the disabled is proposed here. With a substantial disabled population (one in five in some states) in the United States and an emerging amputee (~12000) and geriatric population (~ 3.3 million) in Florida alone, smart and effective assistive and rehabilitative devices that can impact the lives of the disabled are imperative in the current biomedical devices market. We propose to team teach rehabilitation engineering design through an experiential and meticulous teaching model which includes four stages: Inspire, Identify, Invent and Implement. We believe that the University's optimal location, supporting environment and infrastructure, partnerships with the medical community, extensive network of industry representatives and excellence in online education will all serve as precursors for the success of the proposed training program. The proposed Biodesign program is designed as a sequence of two courses with an intermediate clinical immersion and spans across four semesters of the junior and senior years of undergraduate students in different engineering disciplines and in the biomedical sciences discipline. The program presents a plan to integrate physical therapy doctoral students in the Biodesign capstone process. The multi-disciplinary teaching team involves engineering faculty and clinical faculty from the College of Engineering and Computer Science, College of Medicine, College of Health and Public Affairs and from UCF partners such as the Orlando VA Medical Center and mentors and industry experts from the UCF Business Incubator and UCF ICorps Teams. The Biodesign program plans to inspire and introduce students to the cutting edge advances in the field of rehabilitative science and engineering through an introductory course in the spring semester of the junior year, which is followed by a six-week summer clinical immersion where student teams identify unmet user-oriented needs through clinical rotations organized in rehabilitation facilities at medical centers, prosthetics clinics, physical therapy, internal medicine and sports medicine clinics. In the following fall and spring semesters of the senior year, student teams pursue the identified design problems from the summer immersion in a two- semester long capstone design course defining the invent and implement stages of the program. Extensive training on device commercialization and business planning is integrated into the design innovation and implementation phases of the program. The program concludes with a summer mentoring to nurture entrepreneurial dreams and academic research aspirations of students completing the program. The long term objectives of the program are: to inspire students in the field of rehabilitation engineering, to enhance team-based design education through a novel mixed-mode teaching model, to contribute to a broad community of disabled individuals and to promote collaborative and inter-disciplinary education and research.

项目总结：“可再利用工程中的生物设计” “康复工程生物设计项目”的开发旨在培养跨学科人才 本科生在辅助和康复医疗的设计，创新和商业化 残疾人专用设备在此提出。在美国，有相当多的残疾人口（在一些州，五分之一的残疾人）， 仅在佛罗里达， 能够影响残疾人生活的智能有效的辅助和康复设备势在必行 在目前的生物医学设备市场。我们建议通过以下方式进行康复工程设计的团队教学： 体验式精细化教学模式，包括体验、认同、发明、 实现.我们相信，大学的最佳位置，配套环境和基础设施， 与医学界的伙伴关系，广泛的行业代表网络和卓越的 网上教育都将成为拟议培训计划成功的先决条件。 拟议的生物设计计划被设计为两个课程的序列， 沉浸和跨越四个学期的大三和大四的本科生在 不同的工程学科和生物医学科学学科。该方案提出了一个计划， 整合物理治疗博士生在Biodesign顶点过程。多学科教学 该团队包括工程学院和工程与计算机科学学院的临床教师， 医学院，健康和公共事务学院和UCF合作伙伴，如奥兰多VA 医疗中心和导师和来自UCF企业孵化器和UCF ICorps团队的行业专家。 Biodesign计划计划激励和介绍学生在该领域的前沿进展， 康复科学和工程通过在大三春季学期的入门课程， 随后是为期六周的夏季临床沉浸式学习，学生团队将识别未满足的用户导向 通过在医疗中心，假肢诊所， 物理治疗、内科和运动医学诊所。在接下来的秋季和春季学期， 大四，学生团队追求从夏季沉浸在一个两个确定的设计问题， 学期长的顶点设计课程定义的发明和实施阶段的计划。广泛 将器械商业化和业务规划培训纳入设计创新， 方案的实施阶段。该计划以暑期辅导结束， 创业梦想和学术研究的学生完成计划的愿望。 该计划的长期目标是：激励学生在康复工程领域， 透过新颖的混合模式教学模式，加强以团队为基础的设计教育， 促进残疾人社区的发展，并促进合作和跨学科的教育和研究。
