Biomedical Engineering Technology Program Development

布劳沃德社区学院（BCC）将领导一个由美国和加拿大组成的财团。迈阿密，布劳沃德县学校，N。布劳沃德医院区，惠普，优势医疗电子，摩托罗拉，ABC计算机，Asea布朗Boveri公司，和生物医学工程技术（BMET）咨询委员会在制定BMET计划。BCC提供了一个完善的电子工程技术计划，存在超过28年，由行业支持，并在整个佛罗里达州和全国高度认可。BCC的电子课程是由工程和技术认证委员会的技术认证委员会认证，并获得了美国东南部最佳技术课程教育部长奖。S. 1992年，目标受众将是公立和私立高中的学生、生物医学工程公司的雇员和其他寻求技术培训/再培训的人。该项目的目标是培养合格的生物医学工程技术人员，他们将为当今医疗设备的临床应用和电子技术之间提供关键联系。实验室和实验室实践将被开发，为学生提供各种生物医学设备的最先进的经验。女首席研究员将作为一个榜样，因为她在高中和工业中推广该计划。建立“2+2+2”模式，在全国推广。前两年将准备在高中水平的学生顺利过渡到社区学院计划。第二个两年将为学生提供科学学位的组件与必要的技能进入工作场所的副学士。此外，感兴趣的学生将有机会获得一个平行的轨道与更高水平的数学和科学的桥梁，以最后两年的学士学位课程在美国。在迈阿密。

Broward Community College (BCC) will lead a consortium composed of the U. of Miami, Broward County Schools, N. Broward Hospital District, Hewlett Packard, Advantage Medical Electronics, Motorola, ABC Computers, Asea Brown Boveri Corp., and the Biomedical Engineering Technology (BMET) Advisory Board in developing a program in BMET. BCC offers a well-established Electronics Engineering Technology program, in existence for more than 28 years, supported by industry, and very highly recognized throughout the state of Florida and nationally. BCC's electronics program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, and received the Secretary of Education's Award for the best technical program in the southeastern U. S. in 1992 The target audience will be students from public and private high schools, employees of Biomedical Engineering companies, and other persons seeking technical training/retraining. The goal of the project is to produce qualified Biomedical Engineering technicians who will provide a critical link between the clinical application and the electronic technology of today's medical equipment. Laboratories and laboratory practices will be developed to give the students state-of-the-art experiences with a wide range of biomedical equipment. The female principal investigator will serve as a role model as she promotes the program in the high schools and in industry. A `2+2+2` model will be created that could be replicated on a nationwide basis. The first two years will prepare the students at the high school level for a smooth transition to the community college program. The second two years will provide students with Associate of Science degree components with the necessary skills to enter the workplace. In addition, interested students will have access to a parallel track with higher levels of mathematics and science for a bridge to the final two years of a bachelor's degree program at the U. of Miami.
