BME Innovation, Design & Entrepreneurship Alliance annual workshop - Oct 7 2009
The annual workshop of the Biomedical Engineering Innovation, Design & Entrepreneurship Alliance (BME-IDEA) was held in Pittsburgh, PA, on October 7.
Snapshot of the workshop:
The field of biomedical engineering expands each year. The BME-IDEA annual workshop is the place to catch up on the latest developments in experiential-learning courses in medical device innovation.
The 2009 BME-IDEA meeting was a day-long, invitation-only workshop focusing on best practices in innovation, design, technology transfer and entrepreneurship in biomedical engineering education. Featured sessions will include new approaches to education in technology innovation for global and underserved populations; best practices in undergraduate capstone design; and the rapidly expanding landscape of graduate and postdoctoral BME innovation training programs.
We invited select programs to prepare 5-10 minute "innovation snapshots" highlighting their most novel/innovative developments in experiential-learning courses in medical device innovation. The snapshots are featured on the BME-IDEA website to motivate design/innovation/entrepreneurship education initiatives in BME programs worldwide.
Who Attended:
Some 89 faculty with interests in innovation, design and entrepreneurship in biomedical engineering education.
Keynote speaker: Peter DeComo
