This NSERC CREATE Industrial stream program will provide unique, industry-informed interdisciplinary training for Sensory-Motor Adaptive Rehabilitation Technology (SMART). SMART combines rehabilitation devices (robotics, exoskeletons, assistive devices) with innovative approaches (artificial intelligence and machine learning, biomimetic materials, wearable sensors, virtual reality, behavioral assessment). The resulting next-generation products interact intelligently with humans to support and improve their quality of life. The core components of the SMART CREATE training program are: (a) workshops on Foundational topics, Knowledge, Skills and Entrepreneurship that bring trainees together to learn in a cooperative cohort; (b) personalized mentorships that align students with matched mentors for career, professional and personal development; and (c) industrial internship placements where trainees will gain and apply SMART-related skills within industry settings. Foundational topics include Equity, Diversion & Inclusion (EDI), leadership, science communication and technology uptake, and are integrated throughout the training program.SMART CREATE graduates will uniquely understand the impact of human form and function on design, development and deployment of technology. They will be able to apply principles of EDI through the research and product development cycle. They will be well equipped to work collaboratively and lead teams to achieve design goals. Finally, they will be experienced in assessing the impact of technology integration on the end user. From SMART CREATE, trainees will be ready to seamlessly transition to industry or entrepreneurship with the integrated training in foundational and professional skills that are woven into the program. SMART CREATE training will be inherently interdisciplinary and directly informed by industry needs. Trainees will build practical knowledge that is essential for success in a rapidly adapting, team-based technological environment and in an inclusive society.

这一NSERC Create Industrial STREAM计划将为感觉-运动自适应康复技术(SMART)提供独特的、行业知情的跨学科培训。SMART将康复设备(机器人、外骨骼、辅助设备)与创新方法(人工智能和机器学习、仿生材料、可穿戴传感器、虚拟现实、行为评估)相结合。由此产生的下一代产品与人类智能互动，以支持和提高他们的生活质量。SMART Create培训计划的核心组成部分是：(A)关于基础主题、知识、技能和创业的研讨会，将学员聚集在一起在合作队列中学习；(B)个性化指导，使学生在职业、职业和个人发展方面与匹配的导师保持一致；以及(C)行业实习实习，学员将在行业环境中获得并应用与Smart相关的技能。基本主题包括公平、转移和包容(EDI)、领导力、科学传播和技术吸收，并被整合到整个培训计划中。SMART Create毕业生将独特地了解人类形态和功能对技术设计、开发和部署的影响。他们将能够在研究和产品开发周期中应用电子数据交换的原理。他们将具备良好的协作能力，并能带领团队实现设计目标。最后，他们将在评估技术集成对最终用户的影响方面具有经验。从Smart Create开始，学员将准备好无缝过渡到行业或创业，并将基础技能和专业技能的集成培训融入到计划中。Smart Create培训将本质上是跨学科的，并直接根据行业需求提供信息。受训者将建立实用知识，这些知识对于在快速适应的、以团队为基础的技术环境和包容性社会中的成功至关重要。
