本文简要介绍了2019年5月在俄亥俄州克利夫兰凯斯西储大学举行的第四届BME教育峰会上发生的与生物医学工程核心课程相关的讨论。本次峰会由生物工程和生物医学工程主席理事会组织，与会者包括来自100多个经认证的本科课程的300多名教师。这次讨论集中在六个关键问题：QI：是否有一个核心课程，如果有，它的组成部分是什么？QII：我们所谓的核心课程如何为学生的职业生涯做好准备，特别是在工业领域？QIII：设计如何将BME/BIOE毕业生与其他工程师区分开来？QIV：BME/BIOE课程中的工程分析和系统级建模的状况如何？QV：数据科学在BME/BIOE本科教育中的作用是什么？QVI：BME/BIOE本科生需要哪些核心实验技能？ S.事实上，BME/BIOI核心课程已经存在并已经成熟，强调跨学科的主题，如生理学，仪器，力学，计算机编程和数学建模。部门通过突出学科特定的子专业来展示自己的身份。除了技术能力，行业合作伙伴最高度重视我们的学生解决问题和沟通的能力。因此，BME/BIOE课程包括开放式项目，解决未满足的患者和临床医生的需求，作为培养毕业生在行业中的职业生涯的主要方法。最终的高级设计经验区分BME/BIOE毕业生通过他们的开发以客户为中心的工程解决方案，以医疗保健问题。最后，整体BME/BIOE课程并没有停滞不前，很明显，数据科学将成为我们学生培训的一个重要元素，随着我们进入下一个十年，提高学生参与度的新方法将具有重要的教学意义。
This paper provides a synopsis of discussions related to biomedical engineering core curricula that occurred at the Fourth BME Education Summit held at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio in May 2019. This summit was organized by the Council of Chairs of Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering, and participants included over 300 faculty members from 100+ accredited undergraduate programs. This discussion focused on six key questions: QI: Is there a core curriculum, and if so, what are its components? QII: How does our purported core curriculum prepare students for careers, particularly in industry? QIII: How does design distinguish BME/BIOE graduates from other engineers? QIV: What is the state of engineering analysis and systems-level modeling in BME/BIOE curricula? QV: What is the role of data science in BME/BIOE undergraduate education? QVI: What core experimental skills are required for BME/BIOE undergrads? s. Indeed, BME/BIOI core curricula exists and has matured to emphasize interdisciplinary topics such as physiology, instrumentation, mechanics, computer programming, and mathematical modeling. Departments demonstrate their own identities by highlighting discipline-specific sub-specialties. In addition to technical competence, Industry partners most highly value our students’ capacity for problem solving and communication. As such, BME/BIOE curricula includes open-ended projects that address unmet patient and clinician needs as primary methods to prepare graduates for careers in industry. Culminating senior design experiences distinguish BME/BIOE graduates through their development of client-centered engineering solutions to healthcare problems. Finally, the overall BME/BIOE curriculum is not stagnant—it is clear that data science will become an ever-important element of our students’ training and that new methods to enhance student engagement will be of pedagogical importance as we embark on the next decade.
