Training Program in Neuroengineering

 描述(由申请者提供)：约翰霍普金斯大学和它的各个分部和系联手建立了神经工程的首批博士前培训项目之一。JHU的神经工程培训项目涉及生物医学工程、电气和计算机工程、神经科学、材料科学和工程、认知科学、神经病学、神经外科和放射学、心脑研究所和肯尼迪-克里格研究所。神经工程领域的爆炸性增长得到了优秀学生令人印象深刻的兴趣的支持。该培训计划的中心任务是培养下一代工程师、科学家和教育工作者，并将学员培养成科学和工程领域的领导者。该培训计划通过多部门招聘努力和全机构努力招聘代表不足的少数族裔来挑选优秀的受训人员。培训计划的结构是提供对选定实验室、导师和项目的介绍，包括扩大行业和医学院的实习机会，为职业发展和最终的职业过渡提供指导。该项目现已扩展到包括六个主题领域(神经技术、神经成像、计算神经工程、系统神经科学、神经组织工程和临床神经工程)，并接纳了八个系和两个部门的多名教员。纳入了许多创新和倡议，包括整合临床和翻译问题及其解决方案，利用重大机构倡议实现博士教育现代化，引入国际培训机会，并指导职业道路，以培养未来的科学家和学术界及其他领域的领导者。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Johns Hopkins University, and its various divisions and departments, have joined hands to put together one of the first predoctoral training programs in Neuroengineering. The Neuroengineering Training Program at JHU involves Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Neuroscience, Materials Science and Engineering, Cognitive Sciences, Neurology, Neurosurgery and Radiology, Mind-Brain Institute and Kennedy-Krieger Institute. An explosive growth of the field of Neuroengineering is backed by an impressive level of interest by top students with outstanding credentials. The central mission of this training program is to produce the next generation of engineers, scientists and educators and to groom the trainees into scientific and engineering leaders. The training program selects outstanding trainees through multi- departmental recruiting efforts and an institution-wide effort to recruit under-represented minority. The training program is structured to provide introductions to select laboratories, mentors and projects, including expanded internship opportunities to industry and the medical school, provide mentoring for career development and eventual career transition. The program has now expanded to now include six theme areas (Neurotechnology, Neuroimaging, Computational Neuroengineering, Systems Neuroscience, Neural Tissue Engineering, and Clinical Neuroengineering) and embraced a number of additional faculty preceptors across eight departments and two divisions. A number of innovations and initiatives have been incorporated, including integrating clinical and translational problems and their solutions, tapping into major institutional initiatives to modernize PhD education, introducing international training opportunities, and mentoring career paths to produce future scientists and leaders in academia and beyond.
