Smart Biomedical Chip Library: Empowering Students with Hands-On Innovation and Industry-Ready Skills in BME Education
The “BME3006 Biosensors and Medical Devices” (BMD) is a cutting-edge elective course at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-SZ), designed to revolutionize undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME) education. The principal investigator designed this course. Focusing on biosensors and biochemical diagnostic chips, the course integrates hands-on training. Students gain expertise in designing, prototyping, and commercializing different biosensors. It includes wearable and implantable biosensors with microfluidic systems while fostering deep knowledge in early disease detection and healthcare innovation.
This course supports CUHK-SZ's mission of promoting signature courses and enhancing teaching quality. BMD equips students with the skills for impactful careers in global healthcare by aligning with real-world clinical needs and fostering team-based learning. Advancing the BMD course is crucial for establishing benchmarks for improved healthcare. This proposal aims to develop an innovative experimental teaching platform utilizing the BMD chip fabrication plan, providing students with a library of biosensors. The addition of these developed BMD chips will be used for enhanced state-of-the-art teaching and learning (T&L) outcomes for the BMD course.
