  1. University of PittsburghMark J. GartnerHarvey S. Borovetz Workshop on BME Teaching of Innovation, Design & Entrepreneurship

  2. BIOENG 1160/1161 Bioengineering Design I, II(MJG) • Two semester senior-level biomedical integrated product design course • First semester • Computer aided engineering (SolidWorks) • Finite element analysis (ANSYS) • Computational fluid dynamics (Fluent) • Statistical design of experiments (DesignExpert) • Lectures focusing on fundamental components of product design • Second semester • Team design projects • 3 to 4 member teams organized by post-graduation plans and common interest • Project topics formulated by instructor and team • Team “advisor” selected based on needs of team, expertise of advisor, and focus of project University of Pittsburgh

  3. BIOENG 1050/1051 Artificial OrgansI, II(HSB) • Two separate, one semester, upper level elective courses • Bioeng 1050 • Topics: Heart, Lung, Blood Vessel • Term Project: • Design a Pediatric VAD • Improve the Design of VADs or ECMO Based on the Known Clinical Complications • UoP (& FDA) staff with industrial experience serve as “advisers” & “consultants” • Bioeng 1051 • Topics: Kidney, Blood, Liver • Term Project: • Design a Biohybrid Artificial Liver (starting point – existing BAL) University of Pittsburgh

  5. Describe particularly novel and/or effective methods you use to teach innovation & entrepreneurshipBIOENG 1160/1161 • Initial survey of post-graduation plans and interests • Choice of deliverable • Business plan -> entry into business plan competition • NIH-format grant (SBIR/STTR Phase I, R01) • Market-based focus • Marketing, basic finance and accounting principles instruction • Incorporation of market-based deliverables into project • Marketing plan and strategy • Manufacturing plan • Incorporation of organizational behavior principles • Personality determination • Dysfunctions of groups • Cross-fertilization with MBA students at Katz School of Business at University of Pittsburgh University of Pittsburgh

  6. How do you measure outcomes?BIOENG 1160/1161 • Comparison of negotiated deliverables in first semester with results in second semester • Is the deliverable patentable or publishable? • Feedback from advisor/independent reviewer (e.g., business plan competition coaches) University of Pittsburgh

  7. Describe a course project or exercise that exemplifies “best practices”BIOENG 1160/1161 • Reverse-engineering/product dissection • Each design team dissects representative products • Requirement to observe similar product in clinical use – generation of human-factors related observations • Comparative medical/non-medical design requirements • How do the critical elements of design differ for a bone screw versus a simple fastener University of Pittsburgh
