  1. BOSTON UNIVERSITY Boston UniversityKenneth LutchenProfessor and Chair Workshop on BME Teaching of Innovation, Design & Entrepreneurship

  2. BOSTON UNIVERSITY The BU-BME Senior Project Program • Course 1: How to Approach, Perform, Manage and CommunicateIndependent Technical Projects, most in Realistic“Team”. • Course 2: Introduce Students to Best Practices in Design, Development, Marketing and Entrepreneurship in BME Industry • Engages all Full-time Faculty, Industrial Advisory Board, School Management, and use of Outside Hospitals, Laboratories, Companies as additional project mentors. • Faculty Provide Technical Guidance and Mentoring • Builds Repertoire of Technical Communication Skills • how skills complement scientific progress and discovery • Detailed Technical/Scientific (Individual) Accountability is Enforced through “Continuous” Technical Communication • Holy Grail of Accountability is Final Conference • subliminal competition among students (and faculty)

  3. Semester I (2 credits) Introduction Approach to Independent Research Proposal Writing Statistical Analysis Oral Presentation Techniques (proposal) By good & bad example Semester II (4 credits) Progress Report Writing Scientific Ethics Abstract Writing Final Report Writing Oral Presentation Techniques (final report) BOSTON UNIVERSITY Course 1: Biomedical Engineering Senior Projects.

Marketing Driven Strategies and Marketing Peter Russo, Director Entrep. & Management Institute, BU SMG Intellectual Property and Innovation in BME Steve Girouard, Manager Heart Group, Guidant Corp. Quality Control and Reliability in Hardware and Software Medical Device Industry David Jones, Director Quality Control, Phillips Medical Systems Clinical Regulatory Issues in BME Robert Kung, Vice President, Abiomed Entrepreneurship in Biomedical Engineering Peter Russo, Director Entrep. & Management Institute, BU SMG Panel: Case Studies (Three BME faculty with Start Up Companies) Course 2: Design, Development, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship in Biomedical Engineering

  5. BOSTON UNIVERSITY Novel & Effective Methods:Innovation & Entrepreneurship • Proposals (must defend what is novel) • Senior Conference (public presentation motivates innovation) • Lectures on process of innovations • Deliverables (patent search and analysis) • Lectures on Entrepreneurship • Deliverable (mini-business plan) • Panel Discussion from Faculty with Concrete Experience in Innovation and Entrepreneurship

  6. BOSTON UNIVERSITY How do you measure outcomes? • Editing Capabilities • Proposals (Science-type Format) • Progress Reports • Outcomes Related to Product Design and Innovation: • Recasting of Project in Terms of Functional vs. Performance Specifications • Casting Project via a projected product and addressing Intellectual Property, Market Analysis, and Business Plan for Potential Product • Final Report • Final “Public” Conference

  7. BOSTON UNIVERSITY Senior Project Conference“The Capstone within a Capstone”

  8. Formal Technical Conference: Oral Only • Attended by: • All BME Faculty • All BME Seniors • Many UG & Grads & Alumni • Numerous BME Companies & Laboratories (> 150 guests/yr)
