Training Program in Neuroengineering

请参阅说明)： 我们的目标是开发教育和研究计划，以培训科学家和教育工作者 神经工程学的跨学科培训计划。该计划基于50多年来的 生物医学工程的教育经验和协作研究环境成为可能 通过我们在工程学院和医学院的独特和综合的存在。过去4年的努力 产生了一个既严谨又全面的计划。对学生进行深入的教育 在生物科学、神经科学和工程学方面的经验。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)和工程学(侧重于定量、计算和新兴技术)。 他们还获得了必要的教学经验。我们的学生可以接触到导师，不仅是在 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(神经科、神经外科、放射科)。我们赞助的研究基地仍然是例外的 资金来源多样，实力雄厚。我们继续吸引来自竞争激烈的国家的申请者 并且能够保持非常高的选择性标准。我们即将毕业的第一批 优秀博士生。我们现在进入此培训计划的下一个成熟阶段， 优先为我们的学生准备和安排他们从事最好和最激动人心的科学事业。要扩展 研究机会，我们增加了两个新的重点领域：神经成像和临床神经工程 其中包括一些备受推崇的教职员工。我们节目的标志性部分仍然保留着 在医学院有很强的影响力，并有机会与一群杰出的临床医生合作 神经科学家使用工程方法来解决临床问题。尽管我们的程序到目前为止有一个 在招募、留住和培训代表性不足的少数族裔方面有良好的记录 目前正在进行机构努力，以进一步刺激招聘和参与。我们节目的一个特点是 神经工程培训倡议(NETI)已经催生了几个令人兴奋的当地指导和 外展活动。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，使我们的 教育和研究计划是国家基准，有助于课程开发和 研究研讨会，并开发创新的方法来培养高中生以及 代表不足的少数群体进入神经工程学领域。 相关性(请参阅说明)： 正在制定培训计划，以支持和培训博士后候选人的教育和 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，期望 这些受训人员将为未来的科学和学术进步做出贡献。

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.
