NIH-NSF BBSI: BioMEMS Summer Bioengineering Institute at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT)

提案编号： 0234132主要赞助人：William Hunter机构名称：NJITTLE：NIH-NSF BBSI BioMEMS暑期生物工程学院摘要：新泽西理工学院（NJIT）的生物医学工程系提议建立一个为期四年的BioMEMS暑期生物工程学院，以响应NSF/NIH（NSF-02-019）对生物工程/生物信息学暑期学院的号召。第一次讲习班将于2003年夏季举行，为期10周。对BioMEMS的关注将得到为学生计划的教学和研究经验的支持。顶点研究经验将在新泽西理工学院微电子设施的10级洁净室中制造BioMEMS设备。学生们还将在大学高地学术社区、大都市纽约社区（通勤方便）或他们的家乡大学的宿主生物医学研究实验室中测试他们的设备的生物/医学应用。在测试他们的设备之前，学生们还将在夏季与他们的主机生物医学研究实验室进行广泛的工作，以便他们对他们的设备所针对的生物医学问题有一个全面的了解。通过每周一次的由该领域专家提供的最先进的研究研讨会，学生们将对目前正在使用BioMEMS解决的生物医学研究问题有更全面的了解。学生们的研究经验将通过他们将完成的四门正式课程得到补充。其中一门课程将调查生物MEMS领域。其他三门课程将构成NJIT生物医学工程的核心课程。其中两个提供了生物医学工程领域的一般介绍：BME 301侧重于生物电信号，生理建模和成像; BME 302侧重于生物力学，组织工程和生物材料。第三个核心课程，BME 303，侧重于从工程的角度来看生物化学和细胞生物学的要点。所有这些课程都不是单调乏味的讲座，而是采用工作室风格的演示，鼓励学生积极参与学习过程

PROPOSAL NO.: 0234132PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: William HunterINSTITUTION NAME: NJITTITLE: NIH-NSF BBSI BioMEMS Summer Bioengineering InstituteABSTRACT The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) proposes to develop a four year BioMEMS Summer Bioengineering Institute in response to the call for bioengineering/bioinformatics summer institutes by NSF/NIH (NSF-02-019). The first Institute would be held over 10 weeks in the summer of 2003. The focus on BioMEMS will be supported by both didactic and research experiences planned for the students. The capstone research experience will be fabricating a BioMEMS device in the Class-10 Cleanroom of the Microelectronics Facility at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. The students will also test the biological/medical application of their device in a host biomedical research lab either in the University Heights academic community, the metropolitan New York community (an easy commute) or at their home university. Prior to testing their device, students will also have worked extensively during the summer with their host biomedical research lab, so that they have a thorough understanding of the biomedical problem for which their device is intended. The students' more general understanding of the sort of biomedical research questions that are currently being addressed using BioMEMS will be broadened by weekly state-of-the-art research seminars given by experts in the field.The students' research experience will be complemented by four formal courses that they will complete. One course will survey the field of BioMEMS. The others will be the three courses that form the core curriculum in biomedical engineering at NJIT. Two of these provide a general introduction to the field of biomedical engineering: BME 301 focuses on bioelectrical signals, physiologic modeling, and imaging; BME 302 focuses on biomechanics, tissue engineering, and biomaterials. The third core course, BME 303, focuses on the essentials of biochemistry and cell biology from an engineering point of view. Instead of being drab lectures, all of these courses use the studio style of presentation that encourages active student involvement in the learning process
