Graduate Education Program at the Engineered Biomaterials ERC

Buddy Ratner, University of Washington, EEC-9529161

The graduate education program at the Engineered Biomaterials ERC at the University of Washington (EEC-9521961) has expanded in the past year with the launching of courses for credit in its Future Faculty Training Certificate Program and completion of development of the Technology Entrepreneurship Certificate Program. With a goal of training graduate students interested in faculty careers how to design courses and teach effectively, the Future Faculty Training Certificate Program is collaborative effort that melds course content from the Center, principles and techniques for course development and effective teaching from the University’s Center for Educational Learning and Technology, and modules on using technology to achieve pedagogical goals from the University’s CATALYST Program. Similarly, the Center’s Technology Entrepreneurship Certificate (TEC) Program, is a collaborative effort that includes the School of Business and its Program in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, the College of Engineering, and the School of Medicine. The program arises from the belief that students in both business and science/engineering graduate programs who are headed for private sector employment would benefit from the learning together in a project-oriented technology commercialization setting. The model for this certificate program is an earlier project funded by the ERC Program at NC State that led to the development of jointly offered courses and degree minors for engineering, science, and management graduate students focusing on either entrepreneurship or corporate intrapreneurship
