That\u2019s really what this whole package is; that\u2019s the big idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ewert is no stranger to this area. He spent 20 years teaching at North Dakota State University before heading to the University of Minnesota-Mankato in 2010, where he helped establish a successful engineering program that used project-based learning. It was part of Ewert\u2019s efforts to transform the education model from \u201cteach, assign homework, quiz and test,\u201d to providing hands-on educational experiences to students.<\/p>\n<p>It remains, Ewert said, a unique approach:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack in 2010, this was a hot thing. Nobody did this. It was crazy,\u201d he said. \u201cThe idea behind it is that if you\u2019re going to educate engineers, they should <em>do <\/em>engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>So long, quizzes; hello, adding value<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ewert said education is handled differently in the BiZ. Students get the classroom education in the engineering principles they require, but then they put those principles into practice for actual medical device companies that have partnered with UND Biomedical Engineering.<\/p>\n<p>Students do their internships just a few steps away from their classroom. They work remotely on projects through what are called internships-in-place. It\u2019s the program\u2019s goal to have an internship for every student who wants one, said <a href=\"https:\/\/und.edu\/directory\/kouhyar.tavakolian\"><strong>Kouhyar Tavakolian, director of the BiZ<\/strong>.<\/a> That makes the process a win-win for the company and the student, who has the opportunity to graduate debt-free.<\/p>\n<p>Over the summer, Tavakolian spent time in countries such as Australia and Taiwan, talking up the program to medical device companies and sharing with them the chance to have critical work done by students.<\/p>\n<p>In order to do that, cultivating creativity is key, Ewert said. He cited entities such as the World Economic Forum and Harvard Business Review <strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2013\/05\/what-value-creation-will-look-like-in-the-future\">the latter has opined that the future of value creation lies in creativity<\/a>)<\/strong>, as inspirations to help put in place the IBL-based curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>But how do you encourage student creativity? Creatively, it turns out. Gone are tests and quizzes, Ewert said. Employers don\u2019t need or want someone who can \u201clook up the answer at the back of the book.\u201d Instead, they need people who can create value by harnessing creative energy to solve problems, and that means putting recently acquired skills into practice.<\/p>\n<p>So, for example, \u201cit can\u2019t be \u2018I\u2019m going to give you a written report on what I did,\u201d Ewert said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to go to conferences; you\u2019ve got to present your work. And that means, even as freshmen.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Solutions for industry<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ewert said that students studying in the BiZ have developed more than 30 \u201chigh-impact deliverables.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Picture a student bioengineer applying problem-solving methods to biology and medicine. That might mean developing new wearable technology, creating a new medical device or improving an existing one. UND students have been leaders in these efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Yitzi Devor is studying in the department online, from where he lives in New York. The second-year student is working on a device to improve the lives of people with hydrocephalus, a condition that causes a buildup of fluid in the skull, leading to intracranial pressure issues.<\/p>\n<p>Devor spoke at a conference about his ideas, and his research team was awarded $50,000 to continue its work through the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/2023\/07\/building-the-biomedical-technology-of-the-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Center to Stream Healthcare In Place<\/a><\/strong> (C2SHIP), a research consortium that recently brought UND into its ranks. Participating in the consortium will give student biomedical engineers here more access to resources and opportunities than they could find regionally.<\/p>\n<p>Also studying online is Bianka Valecruz. She is collaborating with the National Institutes of Health, where she collaborates with mechanical engineers and architects to revise, organize and archive drawings of the buildings at NIH campuses. She is also focusing on the standards and maintenance of research labs.<\/p>\n<p>Valecruz took to heart the lessons she has learned in value creation and said she enjoys interdisciplinary work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am drawn to biomedical engineering due to its expansive opportunities, driven by its rich interdisciplinary nature, allowing me to learn from each major engineering discipline and apply this knowledge to innovate solutions with the potential for significant real-world impact beyond the classroom,\u201d she told UND Today.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32188\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32188\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-32188\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/181204-kouhyar-tavakolian-01-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Kouhyar Tavakolian\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/181204-kouhyar-tavakolian-01-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/181204-kouhyar-tavakolian-01.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32188\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kouhyar Tavakolian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Tavakolian has spent time teaching senior capstone projects in areas such as electrical engineering.
