How were the amazing, life-saving medical devices surrounding us today created? For many, this remains a mystery. The Engineering World Health RSO will seek to demystify the design process by diving into the history of a few specific medical device case studies from 5:30-6:30 p.m. April 26 at BELL 1108, providing insight on the many contributions that go into shaping a medical device over time.  

The organization hopes to spark attendees' fascination with medical innovation and provide deeper insight into the medical device design process, inspiring students to make their own contributions in the future of medical innovation. Its design team members will present their own projects in which they seek to innovate their own solutions to current global health challenges, demonstrating some current demands in medical innovation and ways students are tackling the challenges.
