BME Design Day to showcase the inventions of students and faculty

By Phil Sneiderman
Homewood

New tools and devices designed and built by undergraduate and graduate students in Biomedical Engineering will be showcased during BME Design Day, which will be held on Tuesday, May 9, in Hodson Hall at Homewood.

The event, open to the entire university community, will provide a glimpse of some of the latest biomedical inventions developed by students and faculty in the department. Some past design projects have led to patent filings and licensing agreements.

At 8:30 a.m., President William R. Brody and Whiting School Dean Nicholas Jones will deliver opening remarks in room 210. From 9 to 11 a.m., also in room 210, student teams will demonstrate and discuss some of their projects. Poster presentations will follow in the Hodson lobbies.

At noon in room 110, Murray Sachs, director of Biomedical Engineering, will introduce the guest lecturer, bioethicist Arthur Caplan. Caplan, a nationally known writer and broadcast commentator, is director of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania.

Additional design projects will be presented at 2 p.m. in room 210, followed by the announcement of awards and prize presentations for the top projects. Activities will conclude with a reception in the main lobby, beginning at 4:30 p.m.
