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, partticipants will:
-
Follow the Engineering Design Process to solve a problem
-
Research the anatomy of human hands
-
Design a prototype
-
Build a prosthetic helping hand
-
Partake in an Engineering Showcase
