Training Program in Neuroengineering

参见说明）： 我们的目标是发展教育和研究项目，以培养科学家和教育工作者， 神经工程学的跨学科培训项目该计划是基于50多年的 在生物医学工程的教育经验，和合作研究环境，使之成为可能 通过我们在工程和医学院的独特和综合的存在。过去四年的努力 产生了一个既严格又全面的计划。学生们深入学习教育 在生物科学、神经科学和工程方面的经验。严谨源于核心 神经科学课程（一般生物科学，但侧重于基础和临床 神经科学）和工程（重点是定量，计算和新兴技术）。 他们还获得了必要的教学经验。我们的学生不仅可以在 生物医学工程，但其他工程项目，我们的大脑研究所，以及各种临床 科室（神经内科、神经外科、放射科）。我们赞助的研究基地仍然是例外 强大的资金来自不同的来源。我们继续从竞争激烈的国家吸引申请者， 池，并能够保持非常高的标准的选择性。我们即将毕业的第一批 优秀的博士生。我们现在进入下一个，成熟的阶段，这个培训计划与 优先准备和地方我们的学生在最好的和最令人兴奋的科学事业。扩大 研究机会，我们增加了两个新的重点领域：神经影像和临床神经工程 包括一些备受推崇的教师。我们节目的标志性部分仍然保留着 在医学院的强大存在，并有机会与一个优秀的临床小组工作 神经科学家使用工程方法来解决临床问题。虽然我们的计划到目前为止有一个 有许多在招募、保留和培训代表性不足的少数族裔方面有良好的记录 正在进行机构努力，以进一步鼓励招募和参与。我们项目的一个特点是 神经工程培训计划（NETI）已经产生了几个令人兴奋的本地辅导， 外联活动。我们的其他计划是为我们的毕业生制定一个正式的就业计划， 教育和研究计划，通过促进课程开发， 研究座谈会，并制定创新的方法，以促进高中生入学，以及 少数民族进入神经工程领域。 相关性（参见说明）： 该培训计划正在制定，以支持和培训具有教育和 神经工程领域的研究兴趣。广泛的相关性源于有机会 在这个新兴的、至关重要的科学领域培养未来的劳动力， 这些受训人员将为未来的科学和学术进步作出贡献。

Seeinstructions): Our goal is to develop educational and research programs to train scientists and educators in an interdisciplinary training program in Neuroengineering. This program is based on more than 50 years of educational experience in Biomedical Engineering, and a collaborative research environment made possible by our unique and integrated presence in both the engineering and medical schools. The past 4 years' effort has resulted in a program that is both rigorous and comprehensive. The students get in depth educational experiences in biological sciences, neurosciences, and engineering. The rigor is derived from the core curriculum in neurosciences (biological science in general but with focus on basic and clinical neurosciences) and engineering (with focus on quantitative, computational, and emerging technologies). They also gain a requisite teaching experience. Our students have access to mentors not only in Biomedical Engineering, but other engineering programs, our Mind-Brain Institute, and various clinical departments (Neurology, Neurosurgery, Radiology). Our sponsored research base remains exceptionally strong with funding from diverse sources. We continue to draw applicants from a highly competitive national pool, and are able to maintain very high standards of selectivity. We are about to graduate the first batch of outstanding doctoral candidates. We now enter the next, maturing phase of this training program with the priority to prepare and place our students in the best and most exciting scientific careers. To expand the research opportunities, we have added two new focus areas: Neuroimaging and Clinical Neuroengineering with the inclusion of a number of highly regarded faculty. The signature aspects of our program still remain the strong presence in the medical school and the opportunity to work with an outstanding group of clinical neuroscientists to use engineering approaches to solve clinical problems. Although our program so far has a good track record of recruiting, retaining and training underrepresented minorities there are a number of institutional efforts underway to further stimulate recruiting and participation. A hallmark of our program is the NeuroEngineering Training Initiative (NETI) that has spawned several exciting local mentoring and outreach activities. Our other plans are to develop a formal placement program for our graduates, make our educational and research program a national benchmark by contributing to curriculum development and research symposia, and develop innovative approaches to fostering entry by high school students as well as under-represented minorities into the field of Neuroengineering. RELEVANCE (Seeinstructions): The training program is being developed to support and train predoctoral candidates with educational and research interests in the field of Neuroengineering. The broad relevance stems from the opportunity to produce workforce of the future in this emergent, critically important scientific field with the expectation that these trainees will contribute to future scientific and academic advancements.
