Call for Biomedical Engineering Projects

The Department of Biomedical Engineering is seeking projects for undergraduates enrolled in its Homewood Biomedical Design Associates course. In this course, teams of students work on practical biomedical engineering projects (research, clinical or assistive), which must be completed by May 2005. If you or colleagues in your department have a challenge that would fit into this course structure, you can submit a short problem statement at bme-admin1.bme.jhu.edu/cfdocs/courses/580.111.

The Web page also describes the program in more detail and highlights past projects. Contact Robert Allen, 410-516-4922, or Artin Shoukas, 410-955-2871, with any questions about the program.
