1. Carnegie Mellon University (& University of Pittsburgh) James F. Antaki, PhD Workshop on BME Teaching of Innovation, Design & Entrepreneurship

2. Senior Year - two semesters Semester - 1: Project Definition –Medical Faculty –didactics: project mgmt; design “theory”; etc… –Deliverable: SBIR Proposal Semester - 2: Execution –Industrial Mentors –bonus lectures: patenting, economics, ethics, business, regulatory affairs –Deliverables: Fully defined detailed report. (+simulation or proof-of-concept prototype) Bioengineering SENIOR DESIGN COURSE ELEMENTS

3. Particularly novel and/or effective methods we use to teach innovation & entrepreneurship Prescriptive design method: –Form follows function –User-Centered Interaction with Medical Faculty Industrial Mentors “Product Anatomy Lab” Real-world skills: –“engineering estimation” –brainstorming techniques & exercises –medical vocabulary “Incentives”

4. How do you measure outcomes? standard course evaluations x 2 “Family Feud” future: intermediate evaluations (open for suggestions)

5. Example of Course Material (1) ESTIMATE: how many tanker truckloads of blood will the heart pump in one lifetime? (2) ESTIMATE: what percentage of your brain mass is destroyed by chugging a 6-pack of beer? (3) ESTIMATE: how many lbs of force are exerted on your shoulder joint when lifting a 1 gallon pail of water? (Assume you are holding your arm horizontally.) 1) 10 minutes independently 2) 5 minutes in teams (#3 only) 3) then goto Estimation.xls

6. Example of Project RHEUMATOLOGY ORTHOPEDICS OB/GYNNEUROLOGY REGENERATIVE MEDICINE REHABILITATION MEDICAL IMAGING CARDIOLOGY GENERAL SURGERY
