  1. A Proposed Design for a Graduate Level Design Course Paul H. King, Ph.D., P.E. Vanderbilt University

  2. Advanced Design of Medical Products, Processes, and Services – BME 373 • MS & ME level • BME + ME + ? + Management • Fulfills ME design requirement • Fulfills Entrepreneurship interests

  3. Review of Design Web Sites • 17 Universities identified graduate design courses • 5+ unique courses • 3 duplicated courses • 5 design – similar to proposed

  4. Unique Courses • Artificial Organ – U T Austin • Medical Device Dev. (Polymeric – Rutgers) • Biomedical Device Manufacturing – Purdue • Prosthetics - Clemson

  5. Duplicated Courses • Rehabilitation emphasis: Carnegie Mellon, Catholic U. • Entrepreneurship: U. Penn, U. Miami • Technology Transfer: GA Tech, U FL

  6. Similar to Proposed Course • UCSD – bioengineering design project • U IL/Chicago – medical product development • U Michigan – biomedical engineering design • U Minnesota – new product design and business development • Stanford – medical device design and evaluation

  7. UCSD • the purpose of the new M.Eng. degree is to prepare design and project engineers for careers in the biomedical and biotechnology industries. … intended for students who are primarily interested in engineering design, development, manufacturing and management within an industrial or professional setting.

  8. UCSD • Bioengineering 295 - Bioengineering Design Project (2-quarters, 4 units each) • - independent work by graduate students focused on design, applied research and professional experience

  9. University of Illinois/Chicago • BME494 – Medical Product Development • … apply (BS/MS) in a corporate setting • - business plan, structure of corporations, FDA, ISO, presentation of product concepts, planning, R&D • No end product

  10. University of Michigan • Biomedical Engineering Design (450) • One semester, senior or MS (BME only) • “ instrumentation design products “ • Problem definition through prototype • Local industry, hospital, engineering sponsor project(s) • Introductory design lectures only

  11. Stanford University • ME 282 Medical Device Design and Evaluation • 2 quarter 2 hour corporate sponsored project course • Team formation, testing, standards, FDA, physiology as necessary, IP, marketing • Mechanical Engineering home

  12. University of Minnesota • New Product Design and Business Development • Management + Institute of Technology + Biomedical Engineering • 2 semester • Teams: ½ engineering + ½ management • Corporate sponsored projects (Medtronic, Scimed, SpineTech, others)

  13. U MN continued • Definition through prototype • IP agreements up front • Mixed engineering and management lectures on relevant material through the year • Pricing, design for manufacturing, ethics, etc. from Ulrich/Eppinger Product Design & Development • Emulate!

  14. Vanderbilt – BME 373/MGT451 • Design of Medical Products, Processes, and Services (Special Projects- Mgt.) • This course is intended to involve graduate level engineering and management students in Medical Design from the initial phase of a design request as solicited from industry (or University) to the end product, prototype, plan, or feasibility analysis.

  15. VU BME 373 Continued • Instructors King (Engineering), Owens (GSM). • Engineering prerequisite BME 272 (First semester senior BME design) • GSM prerequisite masters level, special topics credit, entrepreneurship • 3 credit hours, ME credit, MS Mgt. Credit • Engineering: BME, ME, EE, Mgt. Tech.

  16. Need: • A need exists in the Biomedical Engineering Department for a non-thesis Masters of Engineering Design Project option. This course will allow a student to imitate and perhaps complete this requirement. It will in addition expose students to collaborative work with students and faculty in Management.

  17. Expanded definition • … lectures and demonstrations as necessary to ensure that all are familiar with the basics of team building, brainstorming, intellectual property rights and research, forecasting, market surveys, and design strategies. • … form teams comprised of both Management and Engineering students. Each team will, under the guidance as necessary of the course principals (and other advisors), perform:

  18. Performance: • 1. task clarification and market analysis • 2. concept elaboration and refinement • 3. preliminary design, testing and prototyping • 4. final design, testing and documentation • 5. Intellectual property analysis and documentation • 6. solution communication • Of a product, process, or service.

  19. First offering: • Spring 2001 • 2 BME ME students, 2 OGSM now • Choice of 4 projects • … commercial? • Yearly thereafter.
