The School of Biomedical Engineering, which has grown from 29 core faculty in 2007 to almost 50 today, celebrates its 10th anniversary this academic year.
Imagine a future where medical results do not take weeks, or require long trips to the doctor’s office, but instead are as easy as purchasing a gift card. New systems engineering professor Steve Simske thinks combining broad skillsets with engineering could potentially lead to a “gift of life” card, which could easily capture bodily samples such as saliva and instantly report medical conditions.
27 high school girls got to live a day in an engineering student’s shoes for Stick with SWE, a Society of Women Engineers (SWE) event.
