The students also have the opportunity to learn asthey are needed, various technical skills including computer-aided design, finite elementanalysis, machining/fabrication, electronics and electrical measurement and design, LabVIEW,MATLAB and microcontroller programming, mechanical testing, and basic laboratorytechniques related to biomaterials and tissue engineering. As our student population has grown,we have had an increasing challenge to informally and effectively teach our students thesecutting-edge skills that will enable them to be better engineers. In addition, our BME StudentAdvisory Committee (BSAC) has expressed interest in having more formal, directed

This particular partnership also draws from the backing of bothDepartments and higher administrative levels, particularly from NJU, which, for the inauguralsummer design experience at OSU in Summer 2014, is currently pledging significant funding tosupport the trip for the NJU students.There are significant opportunities for career development from this collaboration. As theprimary instructor of the Senior Design capstone course, I am the main resource for OSUstudents for learning about industry models for design, manufacturing, business models, costassessment, medical device regulation, ethics, and global aspects of engineering. Developing thiscollaboration would greatly enhance my ability to

in the semesterleads into the two main deliverables for the first semester – a team portfolio of all workaccomplished (up to the point of selection of a lead design solution strategy) along with a teamposter presentation (open to the program faculty and staff). Learning outcomes for this courseinclude those focused on application of technical and engineering design skills andprofessionalism, and also refinement and demonstration of effective communication skills viadesign documentation and presentations. In the second semester of bioengineering senior design,teams carry their work forwards through engineering analysis, prototyping, and testing withmultiple design reviews. Ethical considerations including risk-benefit, human factors

practical toarrange an industry internship when the student is not being paid under the T32 grant and caninstead be paid by the industry host site. There is considerable variation and uncertainty about policy with respect to intellectualproperty generated as part of an off-campus training experience. This is consistent with theauthors’ experience. In addition, we note that our trainees to date have demonstrated a high rateof interest in intellectual property and other issues related to entrepreneurship. Hence, we havetried to address this challenge by creating opportunities for students to learn about practical,legal, and ethical issues of intellectual property management. In conclusion, this analysis suggests that successful

engineering courses that did not fitinto the categories discussed so far (Figure 1) and these were classified into the category “other.”Courses in this category include ethics, communication (written, oral, and graphical), economics,BME seminars, and professional development. These courses comprised 9 credit hours onaverage and no program required more than 20 credit hours of “other” courses. Figure 2 shows the amount of time that each university required in each of the subjectsshown in Figure 1. This graph is comprised of data only from those universities that requiredeach of the listed topics. Data were converted to a semester credit hour basis for all universities.The median number of hours for graduation at these universities was 129, with

manycomplications. The students’ research projects are developed from ongoing work in thelaboratories. The research projects of the undergraduate students covered a diversity of topicsrelated to diabetes, including metabolic engineering, biomaterials, biosensors, medical imagingand tissue engineering. In addition to conducting research, students participated in weeklyseminars on topics related to diabetes (basic research, clinical treatment public health andpolicy), weekly ethics seminars, and off-campus tours of research and clinical facilities. Theseactivities were designed to expose students to the broad health implications of the disease and theimportance of research related to the treatment and potential cures for this disease and itscomplications
