ABSTRACT The proposed ““Bioengineering Research and Interdisciplinary Training – ESTEEMED" (BRITE) program, with an emphasis on Orthotics, Prosthetics and Rehabilitation represents a major research education initiative for Kennesaw State University to engage students with diverse backgrounds in positive and impactful undergraduate research experiences that empower them with tools of success to pursue PhD degrees for research careers in academia and industry. Over a four-year period, we will recruit underrepresented minorities, persons with disabilities, women and economically- and socially-disadvantaged students, and expose them to spheres of engineering and clinical discovery to provoke heightened and sustained interest in research inquiry. The program will immerse students into the clinical realm of orthotics, prosthetics, and rehabilitation through interactions with users of assistive technology, clinical rotations, faculty mentoring, a Capstone project, and work on an interdisciplinary research team. At the end of the four-year program, we will have trained student participants on essential research skills who will be well-prepared to eventually serve as the next technological innovators and leaders in bioengineering with more diverse and enriched perspectives of possibilities. We aim to accomplish, measure, and assess the following main objectives: 1) We will recruit 32 academically-outstanding high school students from the target underrepresented groups for this proposed research training program through partnerships with a major state government sponsored STEM education program, a private Georgia STEM education foundation, and a regional high school STEM administrator. 2) We will implement a vigorous participant retention plan that will be ongoing and administered by an Academic Success advisory team. 3) We will offer motivating, rigorous and impactful research training experiences through the following core elements: summer bridge program, summer research experience, honors program, faculty mentorship, and Capstone project. 4) The trainees will participate actively on an interdisciplinary research team. 5) The students will obtain dedicated faculty research mentoring and career counseling to ready them for graduate studies. 6) The trainees will increase their research competency skills through specialized instruction and practice. 7) Graduating BRITE participants will gain admission into masters/doctoral programs related to bioengineering.

摘要 生物工程研究与跨学科培训（Bioengineering Research and Interdisciplinary Training - ESTEEMED） 计划，重点是矫正，假肢和康复是一个主要的 肯尼索州立大学的研究教育倡议，以吸引学生与不同的 在积极和有影响力的本科研究经验，使他们的背景 与成功的工具，追求博士学位的研究事业在学术界和工业界。 在四年的时间里，我们将招募代表性不足的少数民族，残疾人， 妇女和经济及社会处境不利的学生，并使他们接触到 工程和临床发现，以激发对研究的高度和持续的兴趣 查询该计划将沉浸到矫正，假肢，和 通过与辅助技术用户的互动，临床轮换，教师 指导，一个顶点项目，并在一个跨学科的研究团队工作。结束时 四年的计划，我们将有培训的学生参与者的基本研究技能，他们将 做好充分准备，最终成为下一个技术创新者和领导者， 生物工程与更多样化和丰富的前景的可能性。 我们的目标是实现，衡量和评估以下主要目标：1）我们将招募32名 来自目标代表性不足群体的学业优秀的高中生， 通过与一个主要州政府的伙伴关系提出的研究培训计划 赞助的STEM教育计划，一个私人格鲁吉亚STEM教育基金会，以及一个 地区高中STEM管理员。2)我们将实施积极的参与者保留 该计划将持续进行，并由学术成功咨询团队管理。3)我们将 通过以下核心提供激励，严格和有影响力的研究培训经验 要素：夏桥计划，夏季研究经验，荣誉计划，教师 指导和顶点项目4)学员将积极参与跨学科的 研究团队。5)学生将获得专门的教师研究指导和职业生涯 为他们的研究生学习做准备。6)受训人员将增加研究 通过专门的指导和实践的能力技能。7)毕业BRITE 参加者可获生物工程相关的硕士/博士学位。
