Paper Authors
Collin W. Shale Johns Hopkins University
Collin Shale is a junior lecturer with the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Collin received his bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering from Marquette University, and he received his master’s degree in bioengineering innovation and design from Johns Hopkins University, where he worked on projects relating to infection prevention for intravenous infusion and tuberculosis diagnostics. Collin is an instructor for the capstone undergraduate Design Team program, a suite of courses that train student leaders and teams in the design process. In his role, Collin provides instruction on clinical observation, need identification and validation, and opportunity assessment in addition to providing curricular and advisory support to student design teams.
Shababa Binte Matin Johns Hopkins University
Shababa Matin has received her combined Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree in Visual Arts and Biomedical Engineering from Brown University, followed by a Masters of Science and Engineering from the Center of Bioengineering Innovation and Design at Johns Hopkins University. Since 2019, she has been a junior lecturer at the BME Undergraduate Design Team Program at Johns Hopkins University. She is interested in design as it applies to developing and bringing new healthcare innovations to public and global health spheres.
Nicholas J. Durr Johns Hopkins University
Nicholas J. Durr is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University and the co-Director of Undergraduate Programs at the Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design. He leads the Computational Biophotonics Laboratory at Hopkins. He received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from U.C. Berkeley and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from U.T. Austin. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard Medical School in 2010 and an independent investigator at MIT from 2011 to 2014 as a Fellow in the M+Vision Consortium. Before joining Johns Hopkins, he was the Founder and CEO of PlenOptika.
Elizabeth A. Logsdon Johns Hopkins University
Dr. Logsdon is a senior lecturer at Johns Hopkins University in the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME). She is also the Associated Director of Academic Programs and Director of the BME Design Studio - a facility that supports design efforts in many bioengineering courses at the University and within the Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design.
Abstract
Project-based design courses require teaching in diverse subject matters including design, intellectual property (IP), regulation, and market access. For large courses (>50 students) this is often managed by bringing in working professionals as lecture-platform guest speakers. Although the lecture format allows the speaker to reach a larger audience, it fails to provide project-specific information that is critical to decision making in these areas. Additionally, it is challenging to engage a large number of experts to work individually with student teams. A series of expert office hours were derived from the incubator model of mentors-in-residence to support a large 2-semester biomedical engineering (BME) design course in three domains: (1) intellectual property (2) device regulation (3) market access. These office hours were hosted by IP lawyers, regulatory consultants, and market access professionals. This model was successfully implemented to meet the demand of 120 students (15 teams) for project-specific feedback using a limited number of experts (1-2 per domain) and was widely accepted by the students, with >95% of students reporting the model met their needs.
