项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In our current grant the overall goal was to increase the number of minority undergraduate students trained in biomedical engineering (BME) by building on an existing partnership, between faculty in BME at The City College of New York, a publicly funded minority-serving institution with limited resources, and researchers in currently eight of the preeminent medical research institutions in New York City. This consortium is known as the New York Center for Biomedical Engineering and is an official CUNY Institute. In the current application this goal is expanded to include internships and employment opportunities for our students in a network of major industrial firms in health care related technology and the utilization of our newly established Industry Advisory Board. The Board will provide input into our curriculum, especially with regard to our senior BME capstone design course. The renewal application also contains new strategies for retention and recruitment, the creation of a mentorship and teaching fellow program which will closely integrate each student scholar with a senior Ph.D. student and an expansion of our high school outreach program in which we will establish strategic relationships with high school guidance counselors and assistant principles of science to recruit talented high achieving students who are interested in the life sciences and/or engineering. We will also expand our collaborative partnership with STEM and the College Now program to help prepare underrepresented students for college and careers in science, engineering and mathematics. To achieve these goals we propose the following four specific objectives: 1. To build and maintain a steady state annual base of 20 high achieving minority scholars in BME who have a GPA of at least 3.0. 2. To build a mentorship and retention program in which each undergraduate scholar is under the paid supervision of an advanced BME Ph.D. student. 3. To build an industrial outreach program with select biotech companies which will provide summer Internships and design projects for the senior year design course and other feedback for improving the curriculum. 4. To expand our existing outreach program to inner-city high schools.

描述（由申请人提供）：在我们目前的补助金的总体目标是增加少数民族本科生的数量在生物医学工程（BME）的基础上建立现有的合作伙伴关系，在BME的教师之间的纽约，一个公共资助的少数民族服务的机构，资源有限，和研究人员在纽约市目前8个杰出的医学研究机构。这个联盟被称为纽约生物医学工程中心，是纽约市立大学的官方研究所。在当前的应用程序中，这一目标被扩展到包括实习和就业机会，为我们的学生在医疗保健相关技术的主要工业公司的网络和我们新成立的行业咨询委员会的利用。董事会将为我们的课程提供投入，特别是关于我们的高级BME顶点设计课程。更新申请还包含了新的保留和招聘战略，创建了一个导师和教学研究员计划，将每个学生学者与高级博士紧密结合。学生和我们的高中外展计划的扩展，我们将建立与高中指导顾问和科学助理原则的战略关系，以招募有才华的高成就的学生谁是有兴趣的生命科学和/或工程。我们还将扩大与STEM和College Now计划的合作伙伴关系，以帮助代表性不足的学生为科学，工程和数学的大学和职业做好准备。为实现这些目标，我们提出以下四个具体目标： 1.建立并保持一个稳定的年度基地，每年有20名成绩优异的少数民族学者在BME，他们的GPA至少为3.0。 2.建立一个导师和保留计划，其中每个本科学者是根据支付一个先进的BME博士的监督学生. 3.与精选的生物技术公司建立一个工业推广计划，实习和设计项目的高年级设计课程和其他反馈意见，以改善课程。 4.把我们现有的推广计划扩展到市中心的高中。
