UCD BME Translational Design and Innovation Program

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议开发一个跨学科的设计项目，通过从需求发现到商业化的转化产品设计过程的所有步骤，培养本科学生的高级水平。这将是一个全校范围的、综合性的、跨学科的体验，涉及来自工程学院、管理研究生院、医学院、兽医学院、技术转移办公室和设计系的参与者。我们将开设新的课程，以补充现有的工程设计课程，并反映从临床到工程原型再到商业化的工作流程。在这个序列结束时，学生将准备推销他们的工作许可或开始自己的业务。新课程包括四分之一的临床轮岗，以确定未满足的需求并确定问题，两分之一的生物医学设计业务方面的指导和指导，以及四分之一的与设计专业学生合作的经验，以制定营销活动。所有生物医学工程专业（目前55人）和其他感兴趣的专业的学生都有资格参加这些课程。在过去的三年里，我们指导了生物医学工程(BME)-机械工程（MAE）联合高级设计团队，并预计外界对该专业的兴趣最大，但我们的目标是在5年的项目中招募更多的工程部门参与到项目需求中来。此外，将提供新颖的暑期临床轮转/电影实习，向8名即将进入大四的本科生开放。学生们将以小组形式工作，花6周的时间进行临床沉浸，生物医学设备，需求寻找体验，他们必须制作一个视频，捕捉关键观察/对话，从而识别未满足的需求。最终的视频将用于提供临床轮转/需求发现经验，为未来的大一设计课程。)

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to develop an interdisciplinary design program that will train undergraduate students at the senior level through all the steps of the translational product design process from needs-finding to commercialization. This will be a campus-wide, integrative, interdisciplinary experience involving participants from the College of Engineering, Graduate School of Management, School of Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, Technology Transfer Office, and Design department. We will create new courses that complement existing engineering design courses and which reflect the flow of work from the clinic, to the engineering prototype, to commercialization. At the end of this sequence, students will be poised to market their work for licensing or start their own business. The new courses consist of one quarter of clinical rotations to identify unmet needs and define a problem, two quarters of instruction and mentoring through the business aspects of biomedical design, and a one-quarter collaborative experience with Design majors to develop a marketing campaign. All students in the Biomedical Engineering major (current = 55) and other interested majors are eligible to participate in these courses. For the past three years we have mentored Biomedical Engineering (BME)-Mechanical Engineering (MAE) joint senior design teams, and anticipate the greatest outside interest from this major, but our goal over the 5 yr project is to recruit additional engineering departments to participate as relevant to project needs. In addition, a novel summer clinical rotation/film internship will be offered, open to 8 undergraduates entering their senior year. The students, working in teams, will spend 6 weeks in a clinical immersion, biomedical device, needs-finding experience for which they must produce a video that captures the key observations/conversations that lead to identification of unmet needs. The resulting videos will be used to supply the clinical rotation/needs-finding experience for a future frosh-level design course. )
