MTM Capstone Project
Members of the MTM Program Committee will help design several capstone projects in collaboration with clinical, academic, and/or industry partners, aiming to incorporate emerging technologies, industry requirements, and the potential for significant economic or social impact with regard to medicine and health care. All projects will be designed and vetted by the MTM Program Committee and in consultation with the MTM Advisory Board. For each selected project, an Academic Senate member from the Department of Bioengineering or BTS will serve as research adviser.
Topics
- The objective of the one year professional MTM program is to develop engineering leaders who can synthesize the technical, environmental, economic, and social issues involved in the design and operation of complex engineering devices, systems, and organizations. Students will develop and demonstrate this skill at synthesis through the capstone project.
- Projects will provide practical instruction and experience in solving real problems in translational medicine, and it is anticipated that some will lead to innovations with commercial potential. This experience, undertaken by each student as a member of a team and marked by extensive interaction with faculty, peers, and industry partners, enables the student to integrate the leadership and technical dimensions of the professional MTM curriculum.
