  1. Marquette UniversityJay R. Goldberg, PhD, PEBIEN 4931: Clinical Issues in Biomedical Engineering Design

  2. Overview of Course • Problem • Engineers help identify problems, unmet needs, and new product opportunities in start-ups and established companies • 15% of capstone design projects are student generated; 85% of projects defined for students (S. Howe, 2010) • Solution • 1 credit, junior level elective course • Clinical Issues in Biomedical Engineering Design • Allows undergraduate students to observe procedures and conduct needs finding activities • Increases clinical literacy, familiarity with medical technology • Learn to observe, listen, ask questions to identify unmet needs; importance of ethnographic observation

  3. Features of Course • Exam on medical terminology • OR orientation (professional conduct, workflow, working with medical personnel) • Clinical observations (outside of class) • Guest speakers address wide range of need areas • Surgery, nursing, dentistry, clinical engineering, developing nations, people with disabilities • Final Deliverable: Project Proposal • Goal: observe, reflect, incubate, propose project in fall semester (as senior design project)

  4. Clinical Visits/Field Trips • Field trips • Dental Technology Playroom • Laparoscopic Simulation Lab • Virtual ICU (eICU) • Clinical visits • Operating Room • Cardiac Catheterization Lab • Urology Lab • Interventional Radiology Lab • Intensive Care Units • Milwaukee Center for Independence

  5. Results/Feedback • All course learning objectives were met • May nurture entrepreneurial behavior • 4 yrs: No project proposals used for senior design project • “The clinical observations are the best way to learn about the problems/needs of the OR.” • “The project proposal was very useful because it was the first time I was required to connect biomedical engineering issues to a possible product.”

  6. IP Policy • Students own their intellectual property • Students can voluntarily sign IP agreements and NDA’s with sponsoring companies • Accommodations for confidentiality • Private presentations • Excluded from senior design book
