Undergraduate: Team Design
Team design projects enable Biomedical Engineering students to
develop their knowledge and skill while they produce designs that
benefit individuals with disability. After meeting their client,
teams members evaluate the needs and specify design goals. The
team members apply engineering principles to refine and construct
a system to meet these goals.
Each spring the teams present their designs in a show to which
our clients and the public are invited to attend. Projects that
are beneficial and safe are given to our clients for their use.
The projects presented at a recent
show
include a powered calf-raising attachment for a wheelchair, a
challenge course for a school playground, and a communication
trainer for profoundly autistic children.
More information is available at our course
home page.
