Job Description:

The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering (FSE) and the John Shufeldt School of Medicine and Medical Engineering (Shufeldt) is seeking a highly motivated, organized, and collaborative Capstone Program Manager in the Medical Engineering program, which is jointly administered by the FSE and Shufeldt. Working with the FSE Business Engagement Catalyst (BEC), SBHSE School Director, Program Chairs, and Capstone Faculty, the Capstone Program Manager plans, organizes, and directs the day-to-day operations of the Medical Engineering Capstone Project program. The Capstone Program Manager identifies and acquires the necessary resources and coordinates efforts by all stakeholders to ensure timely delivery of project outcomes.

The Capstone Program brings together students (undergraduate and Masters), clinicians, faculty, and industry to create new solutions to real-world problems. Through this program, industry and clinical partners engage with students in a mutually beneficial technical relationship. Challenges defined by industry and clinicians are solved by teams of students working with guidance from faculty mentors and industry and clinical advisors. For students, the program provides an opportunity to apply their technical skills, and knowledge of design and engineering principles, to the solution of a complex, team-oriented project, typically over a two-semester course sequence. For the industry and clinical partners, Capstone Projects provide a cost-effective opportunity to solve technical problems, and the opportunity to interact with students to gain access to new ideas and to mentor potential future talent.

This is a natural entry point into ASU for new industry and clinical partners, which could expand into other opportunities such as funded research, student hiring, internships, and recruitment.
