Project Summary Biomedical Engineering (BME) undergraduate students at Colorado State University (CSU) complete two B.S. degrees, in BME and a partner major of either Mechanical Engineering, Chemical and Biological Engineering, or Electrical Engineering. Throughout the five year curriculum, these students become proficient in math, biomedical science, and their chosen engineering specialization. Much of CSU's two-semester BME Senior Capstone Design course focuses on medical device design, and it is important for young biomedical engineers to spend time in the clinic to truly understand the environment and constraints that must be considered for successful design of medical devices. However, as a university that is not affiliated with a medical school, there are very few opportunities for CSU's BME students to gain significant exposure to clinical settings. The overall goal of this proposal is to enhance the existing interdisciplinary team-based BME Senior Capstone Design course at CSU by providing a summer clinical immersion program at University of Colorado Health Medical Center of the Rockies, a Level II Trauma Center. The recurring seven week full-time clinical immersion experience during the summer before senior year will be comprised of one week rotations through specific specialty areas: Anesthesia, Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Cardiology, Cardiovascular Surgery, Pulmonary Medicine, Neonatology and Interventional Radiology. Addition of the clinical immersion program during the summer before the BME Senior Capstone Design course will allow for the students in this program to participate in needs assessment and project identification as they work with clinicians to co-develop ideas that can be incorporated into open-ended senior design projects for that academic year. Such projects will be co-advised by a clinician and an industry partner, so students working on the project can benefit from expertise in both practical use of the device/technology of interest as well as the design and regulatory processes required for development of the device/technology. These experiences will better prepare students for competitive careers in medical device development and technologies, and the resulting senior design projects will contribute to advances in medicine and improved patient care.

项目摘要 科罗拉多州立大学（CSU）的生物医学工程（BME）本科生 完成两个B. S学位，在BME和一个合作伙伴的机械工程专业， 化学和生物工程，或电气工程。五年来， 课程，这些学生成为精通数学，生物医学科学，和他们选择的 工程专业化CSU的两个学期的BME高级顶点设计课程 专注于医疗设备设计，对于年轻的生物医学工程师来说， 在诊所的时间，真正了解环境和必须考虑的限制 成功设计医疗器械的关键。然而，作为一所不隶属于 在医学院，CSU的BME学生很少有机会获得重要的 暴露于临床环境。这项建议的总体目标是加强现有的 跨学科团队为基础的BME高级顶点设计课程在CSU通过提供一个 美国科罗拉多大学科罗拉多健康医学中心的暑期临床沉浸课程 落基山脉，二级创伤中心为期七周的全日制临床沉浸式课程 在高年级前的夏天的经验将包括一个星期的轮换 通过特定的专业领域：麻醉，创伤和急性护理手术，骨科 外科、心脏病科、心血管外科、肺内科、新生儿科和 介入放射学。在之前的夏季期间增加临床沉浸计划 BME高级顶点设计课程将允许学生参加该计划 在需求评估和项目识别，因为他们与临床医生合作， 可以纳入该学年的开放式高级设计项目。等 项目将由临床医生和行业合作伙伴共同提供建议，因此学生在 项目可以受益于感兴趣的设备/技术的实际使用方面的专业知识， 以及器械/技术开发所需的设计和监管流程。 这些经验将更好地为学生在医疗器械领域的竞争性职业做好准备 开发和技术，以及由此产生的高级设计项目将有助于 医学的进步和病人护理的改善。
