BBSI in Biomaterials Science and Engineering at Clemson University

该奖项为克莱姆森大学NIBIB-NSF生物工程和生物信息学暑期学院（BBSI）项目提供了为期三年的持续奖励，该项目名为“克莱姆森大学生物材料科学与工程BBSI”，由Thomas Boland博士指导。克莱姆森大学的生物工程系、遗传学和生物化学系、电子和计算机工程系以及材料学院与格林维尔医院系统的外科部门合作，每年将为15名本科生和研究生举办为期10周的暑期项目。在接下来的三年里，将有45名学生受到这个项目的影响。这个BBSI的智力优势集中在学院的目标上，即提供独特的教学体验，学生将学习了解医疗器械开发，临床应用和故障评估所需的基本原则，并将这些原则应用于最先进的研究项目。这个BBSI的更广泛的影响集中在激励学生追求生物工程研究生的职业生涯，并解决创新技术，以提高医疗设备的性能。除了通过讲座、研讨会、个人研究项目、指导、研讨会和专业发展来准备和激励学生成功完成生物工程研究生课程外，续期BBSI计划还将包括研究生院过渡计划，以更好地为学生在生物工程研究生课程中取得成功做好准备。

This award provides support for a three year continuing award, a renewal of the NIBIB-NSF Bioengineering and Bioinformatics Summer Institutes (BBSI) Program at Clemson University, entitled, BBSI in Biomaterials Science and Engineering at Clemson University, under the direction of Dr. Thomas Boland. The Departments of Bioengineering, Genetics, and Biochemistry, Electrical and Computer Engineering and the School of Materials at Clemson University in collaboration with the Department of Surgery at the Greenville Hospital System will host a ten week summer program for a total of 15 undergraduate and graduate students per year. A total of 45 students will be impacted by this program over the next three years.The intellectual merit of this BBSI is centered on the Institute's goal to offer a unique didactic experience where students will learn the basic principles necessary for the understanding of medical device development, clinical applications, and failure assessment, and will apply these principles in state-of-the-art research projects. The broader impact of this BBSI focuses on motivating students to pursue a graduate career in bioengineering and addresses innovative technology for improving medical device performance. In addition to preparing and motivating students to successfully complete graduate programs in bioengineering through lectures, workshops, individual research projects, mentoring, seminars, and professional development, the renewal BBSI program will include a Graduate School Transition Program to better prepare students to succeed in bioengineering graduate programs.
