The NSERC CREATE industrial stream training program in Manufacturing, Materials and Mimetics (M3) will provide graduate students with the breadth and depth of expertise required for success in industry. Specifically, M3 will provide a streamlined training environment for the advancement of knowledge and its translation through core courses, advanced research and industry experience. A total of 97 full-time equivalent students will be trained through M3. A rich training environment in manufacturing, materials and mimetics will better prepare students for careers in industry. Our students will benefit from the complementary research expertise of our PIs from the University of Toronto, McMaster, and York, building on a strong and vibrant foundation of research excellence, collaboration and commercialization. There are 3 pillars in the M3 training program:1. Soft Skills: Every student will take core courses in M3, leadership, and communications, thereby attaining both hard and soft skills required for success. Students will gain breadth of corporate knowledge through courses from the Institute for Leadership Education in Engineering (ILead), MaRS' Entrepreneurship 101, MITACs workshops and one-on-one counselling through the Graduate Experience Internship program. 2. Hard Skills: All students will participate in advanced research in the laboratories of our PIs, whose expertise encompasses cell manufacturing, biomaterials and tissue mimetics. In order to have a vibrant career in natural sciences and engineering, our trainees must gain a deep understanding of their field as demonstrated with peer-reviewed publications and international presentations. We will encourage our trainees to publish, present and patent innovative ideas, thereby resulting in tangible assets for knowledge creation and translation. 3. Experiential Learning Skills: All students will be required to spend one 4-6 month internships in industry where they will have the opportunity to work on product development, intellectual property or regulatory affairs. We will take advantage of Centre for the Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine (CCRM), its extensive industry consortium and the 14 start-up companies spun out of the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto. The internships will provide students with a "real-world" experience and industry members with access to highly qualified personnel (HQP) and an extended period in which to interview them. The M3 training program is unique in Canada and indeed the world. The training requires a multi-disciplinary approach, new methods for knowledge transfer, coupled with leadership and communications courses that will yield the future leaders and innovators in M3. In the knowledge-based economy of the 21st century, M3 represents a $80-100 billion industry. Unlike traditional manufacturing, cell manufacturing, biomaterials and tissue mimetics require highly skilled and innovative personnel. Through this unique training program, students will be better equipped for success in industry by: working on core research projects relevant to industry needs; attaining core competency skills in leadership and communication; and gaining real-world experience. This will provide students with the skills and experience they need to succeed and our industry colleagues with bright, savvy graduates. With industry internships, active research collaborations, and soft skills courses already available, M3 is destined for success.

NSERC在制造、材料和仿真学(M3)方面的创造工业流培训计划将为研究生提供在工业领域取得成功所需的专业知识的广度和深度。具体地说，M3将通过核心课程、高级研究和行业经验为知识的进步和翻译提供简化的培训环境。共有97名全日制等值学生将通过M3接受培训。丰富的制造、材料和模拟学培训环境将为学生在工业领域的职业生涯做好更好的准备。我们的学生将受益于我们来自多伦多大学、麦克马斯特大学和约克大学的PIs的互补研究专业知识，建立在研究卓越、合作和商业化的强大而充满活力的基础上。M3培训计划有三个支柱：1.软技能：每个学生都将学习M3、领导力和沟通方面的核心课程，从而获得成功所需的硬技能和软技能。学生将通过工程领导教育学院(ILEAD)的课程、玛氏创业101、Mitacs研讨会以及毕业生体验实习计划的一对一咨询，获得广泛的企业知识。2.硬技能：所有学生都将参与我们PIS实验室的高级研究，该实验室的专业知识包括细胞制造、生物材料和组织仿生学。为了在自然科学和工程学领域有一个充满活力的职业生涯，我们的学员必须通过同行评议的出版物和国际演讲来证明他们对自己所在领域的深刻理解。我们将鼓励学员发表、展示和申请创新想法的专利，从而为知识创造和翻译带来有形资产。3.体验式学习技能：所有学生将被要求在行业中实习4-6个月，在那里他们将有机会从事产品开发、知识产权或监管事务。我们将利用再生医学商业化中心(CCRM)、其广泛的行业联盟以及从多伦多大学生物材料和生物医学工程研究所剥离出来的14家初创公司。实习将为学生提供“真实世界”的体验，为行业成员提供接触高素质人才(HQP)的机会，并延长面试他们的时间。M3培训计划在加拿大乃至世界上都是独一无二的。培训需要多学科的方法，知识转移的新方法，加上领导力和沟通课程，这些课程将在M3培养出未来的领导者和创新者。在21世纪的知识经济中，M3代表着一个价值800-1000亿美元的行业。与传统制造业不同，细胞制造、生物材料和组织仿制需要高技能和创新的人才。通过这一独特的培训计划，学生将通过以下方式更好地为在行业中取得成功做好准备：从事与行业需求相关的核心研究项目；获得领导和沟通方面的核心能力技能；以及获得实际经验。这将为学生提供成功所需的技能和经验，为我们的行业同行提供聪明、精明的毕业生。有了行业实习、积极的研究合作和软技能课程，M3注定会成功。
