The recent epidemics of SARS and Ebola, and theworldwide decades-long scourges of HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis, and numerous otherviral, bacterial, and parasite infections underscore the need for rapid diagnostics tests, includingmeans to test the safety of water, food, living quarters, and air. In the developing world, POCtests will find wide use in doctors’ and dentists’ offices, hospital bedsides, nursing homes,schools, food processing plants and distribution and retail centers, restaurant kitchens andcafeterias, and at-home patient monitoring for drug therapy.

Technology had on theparticipants’ career paths. Over the nine years, there have been 131 undergraduate students whoparticipated. Ninety nine (76%) of these students were supported via funding from the NationalScience Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates program. The other 32 (24%)were supported through institutional funds. More than half of the students (56.5%) were female,26.7% of the students were from underrepresented groups, and 52.7% students without previousresearch experience. The undergraduate research program understudy is a 10-week engineeringresearch project working in research laboratories at the University or a collaborating MedicalSchool. A tiered mentoring structure was developed within the participating laboratories

foundation for successfulcareers in the regenerative medicine industry, as well as other related industries. Our goal is tocapitalize on our three departments’ strengths in medical devices, cell and developmentalbiology, and veterinary medicine to prepare students for the burgeoning field of biologic devicesand products for humans and animals. The program centers on three main components:coursework, a 9-month internship, and a culminating capstone project.The coursework for the program is laboratory-intensive and designed to prepare students fortheir 9-month internship. The core courses are taken by all students enrolled in the program. Thecourse topics were selected to develop the technical skills that are important for regenerativemedicine

Scholarsfollowed a three-step process: 1) observe clinical processes, 2) identify problems associated withthat process, and 3) formulate a need statement. Each Scholar maintained an “innovationnotebook” to ensure that observations were accurately captured.5 For a few hours at the end ofeach week, engineering and clinical faculty met with the Scholars to discuss their

As campers completed activities, specialemphasis was placed upon the importance of teamwork, collaboration, and “thinking outside thebox”. As in an actual research laboratory, campers would arrive at the lab and continue studies oractivities from the previous day, it should be noted that the complexity and difficulty of themodules increases as the week progresses. Other activities included informal mentoring with thecounselors to discuss preparing for post-secondary education. On the last day of the camp,content and satisfaction post-assessment, as well as a focus group with the undergraduatecounselors were held. Lastly, campers

In this work, a learning module wasdeveloped and implemented in an upper level biomedical engineering course to provide studentsexperience with practical aspects of POCT through a team-based design project.Course BackgroundThe learning module was integrated within BME 434 – Biosensors, BioMEMS, andNanomedicine, which introduces students to the use of micro- and nanotechnologies inbiomedical and life sciences. The typical topics covered in this elective course, which isavailable to 3rd and 4th year engineering students at Western New England University, includemicrofabrication, sensors, actuators, drug delivery, clinical laboratory
