Vanderbilt School of Engineering, in partnership with the [Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering](https://www.vanderbilt.edu/vise/)(VISE), launched this novel graduate program to train engineers to address challenges and develop solutions at the intersection of engineering and procedural medicine. ![VISE Diagram](https://info.engineering.vanderbilt.edu/hubfs/VISE%20Diagram.png "VISE Diagram") The degree is a 30-credit hour program designed to enhance training in the domains of engineering for surgery and intervention with extensive exposure to clinical domains. ESI core skill sets available for training are: - interventional imaging, therapeutics, guidance and delivery, - modeling, simulation, image analysis, data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, - robotics, medical devices, instrumentation, and sensing. Further, each student as part of their design experience will join a cutting-edge ESI laboratory environment as part of a [design internship](https://info.engineering.vanderbilt.edu/a-guide-to-engineering-design-courses#gain) — an immersive designed-based project where students are mentored by both clinicians and engineering practitioners. ### Understanding the M.Eng. in Surgery and Intervention Program Structure With regard to the overall program structure, the master of engineering in surgery and intervention has three tracks: [the innovator track, the inventor track, and the visionary track](https://engineering.vanderbilt.edu/academics/m_eng/ESI/curriculum.php). Each track is 30 credit hours and consists of core coursework and electives — explore these three tracks below: - Innovator Track The innovator track program is a one-year+ program specifically structured to enable students who are constrained by career path developments such that extended multi-year study is not possible. The goals of the program are to quickly provide enhanced skill sets with rigorous study, as well as provide important exposure to many clinical domains. Due to the accelerated nature of the innovator track, it is offered on a limited basis to students who meet additional program requirements before the end of the second semester of the program. Typical curriculum for the innovator track of the master of engineering in surgery and intervention program: | **Fall Semester** ESI: Methods Professional Development\* (e.g. ENGM 6500) Elective Elective | **Spring Semester** BME 6301 ESI: Provocative Questions Elective Elective Elective | **Summer or Fall Semester** ESI: Design I (first half) ESI: Design II (second half) | | --- | --- | --- | - Inventor Track The inventor track program is the same 30-credit hour program but is a more conventional option consisting of two-years of coursework. This track is specifically structured to enable students who have recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree and who wish to spend a concentrated period of time  gaining skill sets within the engineering and surgery/intervention domain. This extended structure allows students to spend additional time within the novel research/design VISE environment to assist in the inception phase of their platform technologies in surgery and intervention.   Typical curriculum for the inventor track of the master of engineering in surgery and intervention program: | **Fall Semester – Year 1** ESI: Methods Professional Development\* (e.g. ENGM 6500) Elective | **Spring Semester – Year 1** BME 6301 ESI: Provocative Questions Elective Elective | | --- | --- | | **Fall Semester – Year 2** Elective ESI: Design I | **Spring Semester – Year 2** Elective ESI: Design II |   - Visionary Track The visionary track program is a one-year program for physician-inventors who wish to pursue the M.Eng. in Surgery and Intervention in addition to their MD degree. The visionary track is available to residents, fellows, and attending physicians who have already completed their MD degree, and is also approved as an MD-M.Eng. dual degree program for medical students attending Vanderbilt University's School of Medicine, which is completed during a gap year between M3 and M4. Up to 6 credit hours for surgery clerkship or medicine clerkship from the MD degree can be transferred into the 30-credit hour M.Eng. program. Typical curriculum for the visionary track of the master of engineering in surgery and intervention program: | **Fall Semester – Year 1** ESI: Design I (first half) ESI: Methods Professional Development\* (e.g. ENGM 6500) Elective | **Spring Semester – Year 1** ESI: Design II (second half) BME 6301 ESI: Provocative Questions Elective Elective | | --- | --- | \*Note: There are several professional courses in the School of Engineering that would satisfy this requirement. This is done in consultation with the student’s adviser and program director. This can be satisfied in fall or spring. # Gain Life-Changing Skills: An Overview of the ESI Design Internship ![healthcare technology being used by surgeon in operating room-1](https://info.engineering.vanderbilt.edu/hubfs/healthcare%20technology%20being%20used%20by%20surgeon%20in%20operating%20room-1.png) ![Engineer working on medical technology-1](https://info.engineering.vanderbilt.edu/hubfs/Engineer%20working%20on%20medical%20technology-1.png) Vanderbilt University understands the [power behind learning by doing](https://blog.engineering.vanderbilt.edu/9-reasons-to-join-vanderbilt-university-school-of-engineering). For this reason, all graduate engineering students at Vanderbilt secure an engineering design internship prior to graduation. These experiential learning opportunities enable engineering students to develop real-world experience in a professional setting, which directly contributes to the marketability of Vanderbilt alumni. With regards to the master of engineering in surgery and intervention, ESI students are required to complete a design course in the form of an [ESI design internship](https://engineering.vanderbilt.edu/academics/m_eng/ESI/curriculum.php). This design internship requirement is crucial as students are immersed in an intensive design project working environment with both expert clinical and engineering mentors.  Through this design internship experience, students learn about cutting-edge approaches to contemporary surgical and interventional problems. Using their enhanced didactic engineering skills acquired over the course of their training program, combined with a novel design environment, students will develop their own advanced prototype device, process or therapeutic. ### Engineering expertise available to you at VISE: Robotics Modeling and simulation Image processing Imaging analysis Data science Devices and instrumentation System integration Interventional and surgical therapeutics Artificial intelligence Computer vision # Choosing Your ESI Preceptor at Vanderbilt ![Healthcare workers learning surgical automation](https://info.engineering.vanderbilt.edu/hubfs/healthcare%20technology%20being%20used%20by%20surgeon%20in%20operating%20room-2.png) ![Engineer working on medical technology-3](https://info.engineering.vanderbilt.edu/hubfs/Engineer%20working%20on%20medical%20technology-2.png) At Vanderbilt School of Engineering, there is a process to selecting a preceptor for each student with regard to the design environment: --- ##### 1. The process begins with the evaluation of the student’s ESI skill survey upon application --- ##### 2. In consultation with the program director, potential design environments are identified --- ##### 3. The preceptor and student establish a mutual match --- ##### 4. At the initiation of the 6-credit hour design course experience, preceptor and student enter into a design course project agreement  --- ESI students are also encouraged to consult the various preceptor faculty and identify potential preceptors of interest. Additional advising by the program director on potential preceptors of interest will also be provided.  \*Note: Laboratory/Preceptor matches can be established apart from Vanderbilt resources. The design course sequence is conducted within the context of a non-disclosure environment with the goal of maintaining intellectual property. In the case of a non-Vanderbilt Laboratory/Preceptor design environment (e.g. industry), Vanderbilt resources typically available as part of this program and associated with being a Vanderbilt Inventor will not be able to be used (such as prototype funds and VISE facility use).  In addition, the student and the student’s non-Vanderbilt preceptor will have to develop an individual development plan (IDP) with the Program Director to ensure degree rigor while maintaining appropriate confidentiality of intellectual property.  ### Here are the potential faculty/preceptors available for partnership at Vanderbilt School of Engineering.
