Exploring the Synergy between structural health and human health monitoring
The vision of this ERC is Revolutionizing Metallic Biomaterials and the underlying technologies.
This will lead to engineered systems that will interface with the human body to prolong and improve quality of life.
The Center will also develop a creative, innovative and globally competitive diverse workforce for the U.S. biomedical implant industry, well-prepared for the multidisciplinary and global challenges and opportunities of the new millennium.
Education Plan
The education and outreach activities are dedicated to the goal of developing a vibrant, diverse workforce well-prepared for the multidisciplinary and global challenges and opportunities offered by bioengineering - projected to have the largest increase in jobs over the next decade and attracting the highest rate of participation by women and other minorities. This goal will be accomplished through carefully planned programs for pre-college education, curricular education of undergraduate and graduate students including the development of a bioengineering program at North Carolina A & T State University and professional education and outreach at all levels. The programs are designed to promote the growth of a technically-competent new millennial workforce armed with the global and entrepreneurial mind set essential to advance into leadership positions in industry, government and academia.
