BME-IDEA
Meeting at Hartford, CT, USA - October 12, 2011
Invitation | Agenda | Registration | Attending Institutions

The Alliance met during the Fall BMES meeting of 2011 held in Hartford, Connecticut.
To BME Department Chairs:
We would like to invite you to join us for the 8th meeting of BME-IDEA (Biomedical Engineering Innovation, Design & Entrepreneurship Alliance).
Over the past decade BME-IDEA has grown to include over 95 university programs with a focus on teaching and mentoring of innovation and entrepreneurship in biomedical engineering.
This year’s meeting will be held on October 12, 2011 in Hartford, CT, as a pre-conference workshop the day before the Annual Meeting of BMES. Featured sessions will include:
- Program snapshopts: examples of emerging
and best practice in three areas of interest (please indicate your interest
in presenting on this panel on the online registration form)
- Clinical & Global immersion in team based design
- Navigating IP for student projects
- Facilitating translation/commercialization of student projects
- The new reality for medtech innovation: Panel of venture, small and large
company leaders will survey the current medtech environment—and the implications
for the training of biomedical engineers.
- Student innovators: select student venture leaders reflect on their experience
commercializing innovations from an academic environment.
- Hands-on session on reducing costs in BME development: Working session to
identify approaches to affordability in product design (it’s not just for the
developing world!)
*Invitations to BME-IDEA are limited to one faculty member per
program. If you are not able to attend as chair, we encourage you to
designate the appropriate faculty member from your department.
Sincerely,

This panel discussion will introduce the NIH/NIBIB's Program for Team-Based Design in Biomedical Engineering Education. After an overview from the NIH Program Officer describing the program characteristics and goals, we will hear from faculty involved in three of the recently awarded institutions. Each program will present the specific goals of design education made possible with NIBIB funding, including clinical immersion programs, integrations with graduate programs and multidisciplinary approaches. Panelists will then engage with questions and comments from the BME-IDEA design community about future direction of the program.

Session VI: Education and Promotion of Translational Biomedical Engineering
II
Session Theme - Student engagement in Translation and Commercialization
A panel of student innovators who launched technologies and products will discuss
the process of translating research innovations to commercially viable products
and businesses as university students. Speakers will include BMEidea competition
award winning innovators and others who led the translation of breakthrough technologies
to successful commercial outcomes. Speakers will address the development of research
based ideas from science to commercially viable innovations with impact on healthcare
delivery, the personal development that they experienced in doing so and the
factors in the educational environment that supported their success.
