BIOMECHANICAL ENGINEERING CLUB
Grades 5 - 12
Like any machine, sometimes body parts need repairs or servicing when the body cannot take care of the problems itself. That's where biomedical engineers come in. They use engineering to solve problems in medicine, such as creating replacement body parts, drug-delivery systems, medical instruments, and test equipment. Their work helps restore health and function, and improves the quality of life for people who are sick or injured. In our Biomedical Engineering: Prosthetics Club, participants will:
-
Follow the Engineering Design Process to solve real world problems
-
Understand Biomechanical engineers apply mechanical engineering to biological & medical issues
-
Design prototypes based on design criterias
-
Engineer a personal floatation device for a mammal
-
Engineer a model leg for an elephant
-
Engineer a model beak for an eagle
-
Engineer a model prosthetic fish tail
-
Build prostheses around design constraints
-
Brainstorm how materials are useful in designing prosthetics
-
Identify materials that aids in waterproofing, comfortability, durability, and functionality
-
Explore limitations of using model animals
-
Use the Engineering Design Process to imagine, plan, create, and improve their prosthetic designs
-
Partake in an Engineering Showcase / Presentation
