Enhancing Biomedical Engineering Education Clinical Needs Finding Courses through Immersive and Virtual Experiences

项目摘要 在初级开设的虚拟现实未满足临床需求课程将参与 工科本科生使用在线和沉浸式主动学习 开发直觉、团队合作技能和未满足的临床需求评估的技术 在他们的高级顶峰课程，BioENGINE计划之前。这门课程将是 通过在线网站和虚拟现实应用程序提供，以允许大型机构 以及那些无法进入医疗中心的人能够进行临床沉浸 以及为所有生物医学工程专业本科生寻找未满足的临床需求。 通过虚拟现实、模拟和在线讲座等身临其境的技术 使用人体模型和分阶段的真实模拟，我们将提供一个大的班级规模 学生有机会了解医疗器械在现实世界中是如何使用的， 并确定新的潜在商业化解决方案，他们将在 高级顶石课程。为了做到这一点，学生们将在多学科团队中工作。 开发建议的创新医疗解决方案，通过沉浸式 临床环境探索和拍摄的临床医生访谈。 通过让课程中的所有学生具有执行未满足的临床需求的能力 通过虚拟沉浸的识别和评估，我们将提供包容性的 在线主动学习计划面向我们项目中的所有学生以及其他学校的学生 机构。通过这一策略，所有生物医学工程专业的学生都将获得更多 倾听、学习和设计解决方案方面的实践、深度和经验 希望能为生物医学的教学提供一种更有效的方法 工程师如何在现实世界中解决问题，以及如何在 更有效的团队合作。

Project Summary The Virtual Reality Unmet Clinical Needs course offered at the junior level will engage undergraduate engineering students using online and immersive active learning techniques to develop intuition, teamwork skills, and unmet clinical needs evaluation prior to their senior capstone course, the BioENGINE program. This course will be offered through online websites and virtual reality applications to allow large institutions and those without access to medical centers to be able to perform clinical immersion and unmet clinical needs finding for all undergraduate biomedical engineering students. Through immersive technologies such as virtual reality, simulations, and online lectures using manikins and staged real-life simulations, we will provide a large class size of students the opportunity to understand how medical devices are used in the real world, and identify novel potential commercializable solutions that they will develop during their senior capstone course. To accomplish this, students will work in multidisciplinary teams to develop a proposed innovative medical solution identified through the immersive clinical environments exploration and filmed clinician interviews. By having all students in the curriculum the ability to perform unmet clinical needs identification and evaluation through virtual immersion, we will provide an inclusive online active learning program to all students in our program as well as those at other institutions. Through this strategy, all biomedical engineering students will gain more practice, depth, and experience in listening, learning, and designing a solution to an unmet clinical need, we hope to gain a more effective method of teaching biomedical engineers how to solve problems in a real world situation, and how to communicate in a team more effectively.
