Goldberg Wins TAA New Textbook Award
Dr. Jay Goldberg's engineering design textbook earns Most Promising New Textbook Award from Textbook & Academic Authors Association
Biomedical Engineering Design, a textbook co-authored by Dr. Jay Goldberg, professor of practice in biomedical engineering, is one of 25 texts to earn a 2024 Most Promising New Textbook Award from the Textbook & Academic Authors Association. This award recognizes excellence in first edition textbooks and learning materials. The awards will be presented during an evening virtual awards ceremony on Friday, April 26.
“Biomedical Engineering Design” presents the design processes and practices used in academic and industry medical device design projects and is intended to be used in undergraduate and graduate courses involving medical device design. The authors aimed to address gaps in existing textbooks and prepare students for professional practice by presenting aspects of the design process that apply not only to student design projects, but also to industry design projects....
One of the most exciting aspects of the BME Department is the potential to advance your learning, problem-solving skills and engineering proficiency through exposure to engineering professors, industry mentors and faculty physicians who are working diligently to find solutions to modern health care challenges.
You can divide your time between the Marquette and MCW campuses, as well as clinical partner locations such as Froedtert Hospital, Children’s Wisconsin, the Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin, the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center, Shriners Hospitals for Children and other labs around the world.
