1. Biomedical (Medical) Engineering at USF A Joint Program of the College of Engineering and the Morsani College of Medicine Robert H Bishop, PhD, PE Dean, College of Engineering Charles J Lockwood, MD, MHCM Senior Vice President, USF Health Dean, Morsani College of Medicine Faculty Council Presentation: June 28, 2016 Phil Marty, PhD, MCOM Bob Frisina, PhD, COEN

2. RESULTS OF A 9 MONTH STUDY Drs. Lockwood and Bishop appoint a work group to consider the creation of a joint USF Biomedical Engineering Department Joint BME department bridging the Colleges of Engineering and Medicine. The work group recommends the creation of a Department of Biomedical Engineering jointly sponsored and governed by the Colleges of Engineering and Medicine. Review by MCOM Faculty Council (USF Policy (10- 055) MARCH 2015 DECEMBER 2015 June 28

3. BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING TASK FORCE The Task Force considered matters of department administrative structure, governance and staffing; faculty appointments, promotion and tenure; space and facilities; departmental funding, revenue sharing and space allocation; research opportunities; education programs; future growth; and resources required.

4. BETTER CARE AT LOWER COSTS (Rationale) A new multidisciplinary, state-of-the-art environment for training the next generation of scientists and engineers for employment in new and emerging fields of medicine and engineering New targeted interdisciplinary research programs Translational research leading to medical innovations and novel therapies Increased competitiveness for 'team science' programmatic funding, research center grants, licensing and royalties, and philanthropy Enhanced patient care & healthcare delivery

5. The Tampa Bay Region has the second-highest concentration of biomedical-related industries in Florida and one of the highest concentrations nationally. Builds on extensive existing collaborations among faculty in both Biomedical Engineering and Medicine Numerous health related organizations provide further incentives Center for the Advancement of Medical Learning and Simulation (CAMLS) Tampa General Hospital Moffitt Cancer Center Shriners' Orthopedic Hospital for Children James A. Haley VA Hospital

6. BREAKING NEW GROUND A jointly governed BME department sponsored by both Engineering and Medicine will break new ground at USF Although a growing number of BME accredited programs exist nationally, only a limited number of programs report a jointly sponsored BME department between Engineering and Medicine. When looking closely at these reported programs, most demonstrated collaboration across missions, but it appeared that separate governance structures were maintained under the deans in each of their colleges. Georgia Institute of Technology North Carolina State University, Raleigh The University of Memphis University of Alabama at Birmingham University of Illinois at Chicago University of Maine University of Michigan University of Texas at Austin University of Virginia University of Washington Virginia Tech University The University of Toledo Appears to be a truly joint venture between the two schools and is in the early stage of implementation.

7. PROGRAM AREAS FOR BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING Prosthetics/medical devices Medical inventions Laboratory delivery systems and materials Artificial organs/tissues Medical equipment Current and potential areas of research and instructional strength Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery BioMEMs and Biosensing Biomedical Devices Prosthetics and Robotics Computer science and engineering

8. LIFT-OFF STRATEGY Create the interim leadership team Create founding faculty through transfers voluntarily from Engineering and Medicine Seek approval for a new undergraduate BME degree program to merge with the already successful graduate BME programs (MS and PhD) Secure college (both MCOM & COE) approvals for new department Secure Faculty Senate approval Secure approvals from Senior Leadership with financial commitments Develop and plan departmental structure A timeline will need to be followed to insure departmental approval is received and implementation is initiated. USF Policy (10-055) exists to propose changes in academic programs and will be followed.

9. TIMETABLE 2016 List BS BME degree program on new program pre-proposal work plans Secure college (both MCOM & COE) approvals for new department Secure Faculty Senate approval Secure approvals from Senior Leadership with financial commitments Initiate departmental structure Conduct internal search for Interim Chair Seek faculty transfers from each college and reassign Jan 31 June 30 Sept 15 Oct 15 Oct 30 Nov 1 Nov 1—Dec 30

10. Appoint interim chair, transfer faculty, set up degree programs, provide faculty assignments, plan teaching schedules, assign department space and address other administrative responsibilities. Approval of the BS degree in Biomedical Engineering Accounts Open and Operational Functional department is up and running! Begin search for permanent Chair in an international search TIMELINE 2017 Jan 5, 2017 to May 12, 2017 June 1 July 1 Aug 1 Oct 1

11. Begin searches for new faculty in international searches TIMELINE 2018-19 2018-19 At this point, the BME department is operational There are 8 faculty, a department chair, and two instructors. Space required for instructional and research missions is 25,000 ft 2 of office and laboratory space furnished appropriately with equipment for 2 teaching laboratories

12. Details….refer to the proposal Faculty Transfers – Four funded faculty transfers from each College – Internal search for interim chair – Incentives for both faculty and departments Faculty Recruitments – Funded recruits – MDs targeted with practice plan opportunities – Recruitments packages with start-ups – Joint appointments in both Colleges – Educator Scientist recruitment to cover UG program

13. P & T and Collective Bargaining – Initially in and out of unit faculty – Eventually move to one or the other – Initially a conjoint committee to make PT recommendations to both Deans – T &P may be conferred by both Colleges

14. Financial Analysis – Sought wide range of support across USF – Encountered layers of complexity—uncertainty associate with RCM and basic assumptions – Developed several models to address start-up, and eventual break even models – Depending on start-up revenue infusion breakeven can be as early as 3-4 years

15. CASH FLOW ANALYSIS Income Expenditures

16. Full compliment of faculty by end of year five will include 16 tenured/tenure earning faculty, 2 instructors, and the chair. Deans will meet for ongoing evaluations and departmental progress on at least a quarterly basis or more frequently as needed. LOOKING AHEAD
