Undergraduate Summer Fellowships in Orthopaedic Bioengineering

9322178 Alexander这个本科生研究经验项目是基于这样一个前提，即在教学医院的紧张医疗环境中，用实践经验补充生物工程师的基础教育，并使他们接触到将成为他们未来职业特征的“现实生活”情境。这样的经验对工程师和科学家的教育至关重要，他们将创造新的概念，开发、设计和制造医疗设备。这种培训对于保持和扩大美国医疗器械行业享有的竞争优势是必要的，美国医疗器械行业的产品被认为是世界上最好的。该计划的项目，从正在进行的部门研究活动中选择，有独立的资金来源，将涉及韧带和软骨修复，脊柱固定，骨折修复，生物矿化的物理化学，组织生长的机械和电磁效应，以及总关节设计。* * *

9322178 Alexander This Research Experiences for Undergraduates program is based on the premise that the ideal place to supplement the basic education of bioengineers with practical experience and expose them to "real- life" situations of the sort that will characterize their future careers is in the intense medical environment of a teaching hospital. Such experience is critical to the education of engineers and scientists who will create new concepts and develop, design, and manufacture medical devices. Such training is necessary to maintain and expand the competitive edge enjoyed by the U.S. medical device industry, whose products are recognized as being the world's best. The program's projects, chosen from ongoing Departmental research activities with independent funding sources, will involve ligament and cartilage repair, spinal fixation, fracture repair, physical chemistry of biomineralization, mechanical and electronmagnetic effects on tissue growth, and total joint design. ***
