Generate ideas for world-changing biomedical innovations and technologies!
June 27-30, 2011
Northwestern University, Evanston, IL
What is it? IdeaLab is a highly experiential workshop that uses dynamic case studies, creative experiences and intensive exercises to help students expand their understanding of and competence in BME design. Over four days, you'll be challenged to develop creative solutions to BME problems and learn how to apply these solutions (ideas) through a market-oriented lens.
By the end of the workshop you'll have developed the confidence and skills to generate ideas for new biomedical innovations, as well as to understand and be able to pursue market validation, product design, business development and regulator approval activities.
Who should attend? Rising seniors or other students in biomedical engineering programs interested in idea generation, and product development and design. How do I participate? The workshop if full. If you'd like to be placed on the waitlist, please contact Patricia Boynton, pboynton@nciia.org.
Registration fee and apply Registration is $295 and includes lodging, meals, and materials. Special consideration will be given to BMES members.
Train with the country's leading biomedical innovators!
Date June 27-30, 2011
Northwestern University, Evanston, IL
What is it? TeachingLab is conducted in both a classroom and lab setting in
which "Learning Faculty" observe the lessons and activities of IdeaLab taught by experienced BME faculty and expert NCIIA staff. At the completion of the workshop "Learning Faculty" are able to utilize and apply the methods, models and approaches for teaching creativity and idea generation to their own classes and BME programs.
What will I learn? Participating faculty will gain a number of practical resources, such as course content and contacts to enhance curricula, exposure to the innovation process, projects, best teaching practices, curricula models, exercises that can be used in the classroom and data.
Who are the lead faculty? You'll work with:
Matt Glucksberg - Professor, Chair, McCormick Center of Engineering and Applied Science, Northwestern University
Marybeth Privitera - Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering, University of Cincinnati
Youseph Yazdi - Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering, The Johns Hopkins University
James Barlow - NCIIA, Manager: Outreach
Paul Yock - Weiland Professor of Medicine and the founding co-chair of the Department of Bioengineering, Stanford University
Maria Oden - Professor in the Practice of Engineering Education, Rice University
Who should attend? Biomedical engineering faculty interested in becoming a more effective educator and motivated to be a transformative force in their immediate environment.
