Capstone design “Senior Design” is a two-semester course in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh and focuses on the risk-based medical product design process in context of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requirements. Unmet clinical needs identification is the cornerstone of Senior Design and is conducted outside of the classroom over the course of approximately six weeks at the beginning of the first semester. These efforts ultimately result in the identification of a capstone design topic suitable to interests, capabilities, and future marketability of the bioengineering student design team members. Historically, two key challenges in Senior Design are 1) facilitating the connection of bioengineering design student teams to caregivers ranging from clinicians to family members as part of needs discovery efforts and 2) after the unmet needs identification process is complete and a project topic selected, obtaining basic, rapid clinical customer (clinician, caregiver, patient) feedback and insights throughout the design and development process. While the biomedical engineering students have consistently demonstrated a great willingness to get “into the clinic”, they are frequently discouraged by the clinical environment that complicates simply “walking in the door” to the uninitiated. Other complicating factors include the unfamiliar physical environment, clinical norms such as knowing what not to touch, and occasionally intimidating clinician personalities. To address these challenges, we propose to create a formal undergraduate partnership between the School of Nursing and the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh. Senior-level nursing students will be embedded into the bioengineering student design groups to initially serve as clinical facilitators during customer discovery efforts. Their roles would subsequently evolve into full team members who bring a unique and complimentary perspective to the bioengineering students efforts. The second complimentary Specific Aim provides these nursing students direct experience with the risk-based medical product design process and associated regulatory, reimbursement, and commercialization processes. This experience will form a basis for the nursing students to be more effective participants in future medical product design and development activities. In the third and final aim, we propose creation of a Design Studio/Makerspace within the School of Nursing. The bioengineer/nursing student design teams will participate in Design Thinking instruction and conduct low- and medium-resolution prototyping efforts in this new facility throughout project execution.

Capstone Design“高级设计”是生物工程系的两学期课程 匹兹堡大学，专注于食物和基于风险的医疗产品设计过程 药物管理局（FDA）和医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（CMS）要求。尚未满足 临床需求识别是高级设计的基石，在教室外进行 第一学期开始时大约六个星期的课程。这些努力最终导致 识别适合兴趣，能力和未来可销售性的顶峰设计主题 生物工程学生设计团队成员。从历史上看，高级设计中的两个主要挑战是1） 促进生物工程设计学生团队与护理人员的联系，从临床医生到 家庭成员作为发现工作的一部分，2）未满足的需求识别过程是 完整的和一个项目主题，获得了基本的快速临床客户（临床医生，护理人员，患者） 在整个设计和开发过程中的反馈和见解。而生物医学工程 学生们一直表现出很大的愿意“进入诊所”，他们经常是 临床环境使人们感到沮丧，这使人们简单地“在门上行走”到未经启发的情况下。其他 复杂的因素包括陌生的物理环境，临床规范，例如知道什么 为了应对这些挑战，我们建议创建 护理学院与生物工程系之间的正式本科伙伴关系 匹兹堡大学。高级护士学生将嵌入到生物工程学生中 在客户发现工作期间，设计小组最初是临床促进者。他们的角色会 随后发展成为完整的团队成员，他们为 生物工程学生的努力。第二个免费的特定目的为这些护士学生提供 具有基于风险的医疗产品设计过程和相关监管的直接经验， 报销和商业化过程。这种经验将为护士学生构成基础 在未来的医疗产品设计和开发活动中更有效的参与者。在第三和 最终目标，我们建议在护理学校内创建设计工作室/制造商空间。这 生物工程师/护理学生设计团队将参加设计思维教学，并进行低 - 和 在整个项目执行过程中，该新设施中的中分辨率原型制作工作。
