The ultimate goal of the program is to provide an opportunity for the student to conduct an individual project and assume responsibilities similar to those expected by an entry-level team member with similar technical training. -Principal Duties and ResponsibilitiesA typical Work Program for a Materials/Biomedical Engineering Co-Operative Education Student in the Biomaterials Group at Zimmer Biomet: Within the first few weeks of the first term the co-op students assignments will include orientation to company procedures, education of laboratory and chemical safety issues, and exposure to design of experiments by aiding in completion and documentation of a validation study. The remainder of the co-op students first term and subsequent terms will be spent working on projects related to one or more of the following topics: Metals Ceramic Bioactive and structural Polymers Non-Resorbable and Resorbable Composites Coating Technologies The co-op will be responsible for projects assigned by a Project Manager which may entail design, manufacturing, and quality control of product/process. For each assigned project, the student will be responsible for researching background information on the project topic, developing an experimental protocol, and documenting experimental results in a final report format to be reviewed by pertinent departments including quality engineering, regulatory affairs, and manufacturing engineering. The co-op student will gain experience in various analytical methods for characterizing material properties as well as manufacturing methods for various orthopedic devices. The co-op student may also assist in other areas as needed. -Expected Areas of Competence-Prior laboratory research experience (outside of laboratory courses) -Motivated, independent worker -Education/Experience Requirements- Must be actively enrolled in an academic program for the entire duration of the assignment. - Must be currently pursuing a degree in: Materials Science and Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Polymer Science and Engineering, Macromolecular Science and Engineering, or Biomedical Engineering-- with a Biomaterials focus. -Must have completed at least sophomore year in school. -Travel Requirements< 5% -Additional InformationEach cooperative education student is required to make a presentation to the Biomaterials Department summarizing the work completed in his/her co-op. The work supervisor will evaluate the students job performance and progress on the evaluation form provided by the students educational sponsor at the end of each cooperative education session.
