The Surgineering course effectively integrates medical intervention principles with clinical exposure for engineering students, fostering innovation. Hands-on experience and clinician interaction were highly valued, leading to increased enrollment.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering Education
  • Medical Device Innovation
  • Clinical Systems Integration

Background:

  • Engineering students require foundational knowledge in medical interventions and clinical systems for effective innovation.
  • Bridging the gap between engineering principles and clinical realities is crucial for developing informed solutions to medical problems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development, structure, and outcomes of a novel "Surgineering" course.
  • To enhance engineering students' capabilities in clinical innovation through experiential learning in surgery, interventional radiology, and radiation therapy.

Main Methods:

  • A six-segment course combining didactic content with hands-on experience using clinical instrumentation and anatomical models.
  • Inclusion of clinical system exposure, surgeon interaction, operating theater visits, and dissection exercises.

  • Assessment via student surveys (Likert scale, free response) and feedback from clinical collaborators.

    • Main Results:

    • High student satisfaction with overall course quality (median 5.00) and instructor effectiveness (median 4.00).
    • Positive feedback highlighted hands-on experience with surgeons and clinical equipment as key benefits.
    • Areas for improvement included quizzes and background reading; workload was perceived as slightly heavier.

    Conclusions:

    • The Surgineering course provides a valuable addition to engineering curricula, offering essential hands-on experience and clinical interaction.
    • Collaboration with clinical faculty was critical for course success and concept continuity.
    • The course strengthens students' foundation for identifying clinical needs and developing novel engineering approaches in medicine.
