  1. Multidisciplinary Team-Based Design Education to Create Biomedical Engineering Innovators Jay R. Goldberg, PhD, PE BMEidea Meeting October 12, 2011

  2. Introduction • 15% of capstone design projects are student-generated.1 • 29% of capstone design courses include manufacturing topics.1 • Most capstone design courses (and design curricula) ignore front end (needs finding/problem identification) and back end (design transfer) of the design process 1. S. Howe, Adv. Engr. Edu., 2005

  3. Biomedical Engineering Design Program at Marquette University

  4. Planned Program Enhancements • Create new 3 credit course in junior year (Medical Device Design) • Combine with needs finding course • Shift several capstone design topics into junior year; students learn topics earlier instead of just-in-time • Allow for deeper coverage of topics (>1 lecture), more guest speakers • Smaller class size in junior year will allow more interactive learning and active learning exercises

  5. Planned Program Enhancements 2. Add design transfer and commercialization phases • Design for manufacturing • Assembly • Serviceability/maintainability • Entrepreneurship

  6. Planned Program Enhancements 3. Funding • More funding for design projects • More non-sponsored student-generated projects • More assistive technology projects • Development of teaching modules • Industrial design • Entrepreneurship • Business basics • Regulatory issues • More guest speakers

  7. Unique Features • Expands coverage to include all phases of design • better prepares students for careers • nurtures entrepreneurship among students • develops needs finding skills • encourages student-generated projects • improves entrepreneurship education

  8. Unique Features • Strengthens collaborations with partners • Marquette University • Dental School • College of Business Administration • College of Communication • Medical College of Wisconsin • Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design • Froedtert Lutheran Memorial Hospital • Milwaukee Center for Independence

  9. Thank you to NIH/NIBIB • The project described is supported by Award Number R25EB013070 from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering.
