BIOMED 5.0 |
Capacity Building in Biomedical Engineering Education for Digital Transformation and
Industry 4.0/5.0 Technologies
|
Summary |
BIOMED5.0 aims to establish an international partnership between Pakistani, Irish,
and Romanian higher education institutions (HEIs) to modernize and transform
Biomedical Engineering (BME) education. BIOMED5.0 objective is to incorporate
digital transformation enabling Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies in BME bachelor and
master programmes aiming at increasing students’ understanding and knowledge in
Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies and to upgrade teaching labs and introduce innovative
Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality laboratory sessions for
enhanced students learning experience.
The project aims to foster collaboration
between Knowledge Triangle players, promoting innovation and entrepreneurship. To
achieve these goals, BIOMED5.0 will revise the Programme Educational Objectives
and Learning Outcomes for the targeted modules via stakeholder inputs. The project
will develop and implement 6 new bachelor and master modules and introduce
elements of Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies in 12 existing modules. 5 new micro-
credential Open Online Courses (OOC) on Industry 4.0/5.0 will be introduced for
professionals as life-long learning.
BIOMED5.0 will develop VR/AR/MR based lab
training sessions for diagnostic and therapeutic BME devices. The centre will act as a
technology incubation hub to drive innovation and support entrepreneurship in BME
and healthcare through providing access to fabrication labs and mentorship
programmes.
BIOMED5.0 will benefit approximately 640 academic and 80 lab staff, over 10,000
BME bachelor and master students, 500 working/open to work professionals, and
more than 80 entrepreneurs.
BIOMED5.0 will build the capacity of partner HEIs
through trainings in Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies, transformative skills, and mental
wellbeing to academic and lab staff, students, and entrepreneurs. BIOMED5.0 will
increase awareness and adoption of digital transformation and BIOMED5.0 outcomes
through comprehensive dissemination & communication efforts. |
