Training Program in Neuroengineering

 描述（由申请人提供）：约翰霍普金斯大学及其各个部门和部门，已经联手放在一起的第一个神经工程博士前培训计划之一。JHU的神经工程培训项目涉及生物医学工程系、电气和计算机工程系、神经科学系、材料科学与工程系、认知科学系、神经病学系、神经外科和放射学系、头脑研究所和肯尼迪-克里格研究所。神经工程领域的爆炸性增长得到了具有杰出证书的顶尖学生令人印象深刻的兴趣水平的支持。该培训方案的中心使命是培养下一代工程师、科学家和教育家，并将受训人员培养成科学和工程领导人。该培训计划通过多部门的招聘工作和整个机构的努力，以招募代表性不足的少数民族，选择优秀的学员。该培训计划的结构是提供介绍选择实验室，导师和项目，包括扩大实习机会，行业和医学院，为职业发展和最终的职业过渡提供指导。该计划现已扩大到现在包括六个主题领域（神经技术，神经影像，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），并在八个部门和两个部门接受了一些额外的教师导师。已经纳入了一些创新和举措，包括整合临床和转化问题及其解决方案，利用重大的机构举措来实现博士教育的现代化，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.
