Industrial and
Practice Partnership Programs
"Uniting educators
and engineers, in industry and academia, to develop the curricula and
technologies that will educate future generations of bioengineers."
The VaNTH ERC
seeks industrial and practice partners (IPPs) who are interested in the
development of bioengineering education. The ERC offers three levels of
membership depending on the level of interest of the IPP. Major partners
participate in research, instructional module development, governance, and
advisory boards of the ERC and receive access to university facilities,
continuing education courses, and students for internships and other
activities. Members range from large biomedical device or pharmaceutical
firms to smaller biotechnology companies and include organizations
interested in electronic publishing. Members may make special arrangements
for the licensing and publishing of VaNTH materials and other intellectual
property stemming from the center’s work.
