MedTech at AtriCure: BioPathways Virtual Visit

Biology, AP Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Physics, Chemistry, STEM, & Career Tech teachers: show your students how multiple science disciplines come together with engineering design in Ohio’s thriving life sciences careers.

Explore AtriCure’s Mason, Ohio headquarters. See how to design, test, and assemble heart surgery devices! AtriCure’s groundbreaking technologies are reducing post-surgery pain and transforming the treatment of an irregular heartbeat (called atrial fibrillation or Afib) and related conditions around the globe.

Discover the many careers and essential skills that fuel medical treatment breakthroughs, see devices being assembled, and learn how AtriCure is improving patient outcomes through innovation, clinical science, and education.

Meet the expert: John Dreyer, VP, Manufacturing Engineering, guides students through cutting-edge biomedical engineering processes and explores career pathways available here in Ohio.

Submit your students’ questions for AtriCure engineers to address during the LIVE 45-minute Zoom visit.

Students will:

• Know… how engineering innovators design, test, and assemble medical devices
• Understand… what skills, knowledge, and pathways lead to careers in the medical device industry
• Be able to… connect engineering principals to life sciences innovation and identify related careers in the biomedical industry

HS-ETS1-1 Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative/quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs/wants.

Cross-Cutting Concepts:

• Structure and Function: How the design of medical devices relates to their function in treating patients
• Systems and System Models: Understanding how medical devices function as part of larger healthcare systems
• Cause and Effect: How engineering design choices affect patient outcomes
