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 snapshots: 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,
BME IDEA Conference Planning Committee:

Paul Yock, Stanford University
Jack Linehan, Northwestern University
Maria Oden, Rice University
Nicolas A Peppas, University of Texas, Austin

	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.Moderator: Amy L.
