This proposal is to develop a new senior year capstone design course and summer immersion program for Bioengineering students at George Mason University. Recognizing the importance of introducing the biomedical design process early and building on this throughout the undergraduate program, our Bioengineering Department has introduced a new curriculum where design is taught in each of the four years. The curriculum begins with an introductory Computer-aided design based experience in the freshmen year, followed by a biomaterials design project in the sophomore year and a course with a product development component in parallel with a course in clinical medicine (taught by physicians) in the junior year. The new proposed capstone design course builds upon this foundation beginning with a summer clinical immersion program that leads into an analysis phase of identified clinical needs in the capstone design course. To further support our design teams in addressing patient-oriented clinical needs and emerging opportunities involving health informatics and health policy, we will include a senior student from nursing, health informatics or health policy into each design team, based on a skill set analysis of each project. The design teams are supported by advising teams composed of faculty from Bioengineering, Nursing, Health Informatics and Health Policy and by industry advisors selected from our new industry advisory board, the Mason Bioengineering Alliance. Design teams will have access to university and medical center resources and follow an industry standard product design and development process. Our approach includes a practical early stage assessment of clinical importance and market potential including the important aspects of intellectual property, regulatory considerations, ethics and reimbursement. This proposal aims to 1) establish a multidisciplinary summer clinical immersion program leading into the Bioengineering capstone course at 3 clinical centers : Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, Children’s National Medical Center and Georgetown University Medical Center 2) integrate Nursing, Health Informatics, and Health Administration students and faculty into Bioengineering Design teams (students) and advisory groups (faculty) and 3) apply in a real world clinical context our new curriculum’s foundation of multiyear design and courses in i) Clinical Medicine and ii) Intellectual Property, Regulatory Concepts, Product Development, responding to newly identified clinical needs. A design control approach with inclusion of relevant standards and risk analyses are included. Workshops will teach ethics, reimbursement and oral communications. Using this integrated, translational approach to learn design will better prepare our students to be biomedical technology innovators. Incorporating a clinical needs finding approach and working with health professional students involved in patient care and health administration will give our students a unique real world experience in patient-oriented bioengineering design. With this senior design course under their belt, our students will be prepared for industry positions, for starting their own companies, or for further graduate education. 1

该提案旨在为学生开发新的高年级顶点设计课程和夏季沉浸式课程 乔治梅森大学生物工程专业的学生。认识到引入生物医学的重要性 早期设计过程并在此基础上贯穿整个本科课程，我们的生物工程 系推出了新课程，四年中每年教授设计课程。课程设置 从一年级的计算机辅助设计入门经验开始，然后是 大二的生物材料设计项目和包含产品开发部分的课程 与大三的临床医学课程（由医生讲授）同时进行。新提议的顶点 设计课程建立在这个基础上，从夏季临床沉浸项目开始，该项目通向 顶点设计课程中已确定的临床需求的分析阶段。进一步支持我们的设计团队 解决以患者为导向的临床需求和涉及健康信息学和健康的新机会 政策，我们将在每个设计团队中包括一名护理、健康信息学或健康政策专业的高年级学生， 基于每个项目的技能分析。设计团队得到由以下人员组成的咨询团队的支持 来自生物工程、护理、健康信息学和健康政策的教师以及由行业顾问选出的 来自我们新的行业顾问委员会梅森生物工程联盟。设计团队将有机会获得 大学和医疗中心资源并遵循行业标准产品设计和开发 过程。我们的方法包括对临床重要性和市场潜力进行实用的早期评估 包括知识产权、监管考虑、道德和报销等重要方面。 该提案的目的是 1) 建立一个多学科夏季临床浸入式项目，从而进入 3 个临床中心的生物工程顶点课程：Inova Fairfax 医学园区、国家儿童医院 医疗中心和乔治城大学医疗中心 2) 整合护理、健康信息学和健康 管理学生和教师进入生物工程设计团队（学生）和顾问小组（教师） 3）将我们的新课程多年设计和课程的基础应用到现实世界的临床环境中 i) 临床医学和 ii) 知识产权、监管概念、产品开发、应对新形势 确定了临床需求。包含相关标准和风险分析的设计控制方法是 包括。讲习班将教授道德、报销和口头沟通。使用这种集成， 学习设计的转化方法将使我们的学生更好地成为生物医学技术创新者。 结合临床需求发现方法并与参与患者的健康专业学生合作 护理和健康管理将为我们的学生提供以患者为中心的独特的现实世界体验 生物工程设计。通过这门高级设计课程，我们的学生将为行业做好准备 职位，创办自己的公司，或继续研究生教育。 1
