We are developing a text for a capstone design course in biomedical engineering. The course will start with a biomedical need or problem defined at the user level and proceed to an exercise in development of a biomedical engineering device or process for a company or institution. We will solicit and develop a large number of suitable topics so the

neering, where she teaches a variety of courses in biomedical digital signal processing, medical imaging, computing in biomedical engineering, biomaterials, anatomy and physiology. In addition to her academic responsibilities, she acts as a consultant to GE Healthcare for product development with emphasis on advanced imaging applications for neurology, cardiology, and oncology. Olga's technical areas of expertise include signal and imaging processing, and statistical analysis. In her previous and current product development roles, Olga gained extensive experience in clinical product management involving market analysis for new and existing imaging products, and clinical product marketing. She has experience in managing product evaluations at multiple clinical sites, and has a comprehensive knowledge of neurology, oncology, and cardiology imaging markets. She has established a number of strong collaborations with clinical experts in recognized neuroimaging and oncology centers. Olga has earned her undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering from the Milwaukee School of Engineering in 1999, and a doctorate degree in biomedical engineering and functional imaging from the Joint Functional Imaging program at Marquette University and Medical College of Wisconsin in 2004. Prior to entering academia full-time in 2009, Olga completed a three-year postdoctoral fellowship in anesthesiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where she studied the effects of general anesthetic agents on brain function. She then worked at GE Healthcare as a product development specialist in CT and Molecular Imaging with emphasis on post-processing software applications for neurology, oncology, and cardiology. Olga has over twenty peer-reviewed publications and three pending patents. Her professional interests include physiological mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease, anesthetic ablation of consciousness, and applicability of medical imaging in stroke and brain trauma. Dr. Jeffrey A. LaMack, Milwaukee School of Engineering Dr. LaMack teaches full-time in the Biomedical Engineering program in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the MIlwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). His areas of specialty include biophysical transport phenomena, biocomputing, physiology, and engineering design. Dr. LaMack holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University, and he is an alumnus of the Biology Scholars Program of the American Society of Microbiology. Prior to becoming focused on engineering education, his research interests included hemodynamics and the study of how vascular cells respond to fluid forces and its implications in vascular pathologies.

The ECET department at Southern Polytechnic State University (SPSU) is considering the introduction of Biomedical Engineering Technology (BMET) as an option under its Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) program. The health care industry forms a major segment of the U.S. economy with spending expected to surpass $2 trillion in the next decade. Biomedical devices represent one of the fastest growing segments of the health care economy. Though there are currently many Biomedical Engineering programs, few Biomedical Engineering Technology programs have been developed to address the need for qualified technologists in this filed. With a solid track record of producing highly qualified graduates for the electrical/electronics industry, EET program graduates receive a broad-based hands-on experience that encompasses circuit analysis and design, digital electronics, electronic devices and systems, telecommunication circuits and systems, data communications, signals and systems, controls, and electrical machines. The program provides an excellent framework for the introduction of the BMET option. The primary objective for the BMET option would be to produce graduates that will have the requisite skills for a successful career in the biomedical engineering/technology field. This paper examines some of the issues and considerations for the proposed development of the BMET option.

(CMU) in Pittsburgh, PA. She received her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Delaware in Newark, DE. She is an NSF GRFP fellow conducting her PhD research at CMU on tissue engineering gas exchange channels to fabricate biomimetic, artificial lung devices. Erica is a recipient of the 2020 American Society of Engineering Education WIED Mara H. Wasburn Early Engineering Educator Grant. Erica has served as a teaching assistant for BME senior design for two years, working under Dr. Conrad Zapanta. Her education research at CMU aims to provide students with a capstone design course that mimics the work dynamic between Biomedical Engineers and Industrial Designers in the medical device industry. She has served as president of CMU's Graduate Biomedical Engineering Society for one year and as president of an organization entitled, "CMU Women in BME" for two years.
