UC San Diego bioengineering undergraduates are exactly about wrapping upward the wintertime quarter of a novel hands-on bioengineering class designed to bring out freshmen to key topics in addition to tools of bioengineering function on 3 hands-on projects. The flat meets inwards the novel EnVision Maker Studio at UC San Diego in addition to is business office of the Jacobs School's Experience Engineering Initiative.
* Electrophysiology
* Glucose monitoring for the blind
* 3-D os printing
Rachel Daniels, a pupil inwards the class, says she learned a lot nearly the human spine from the os printing project.
"By analyzing existent life CT scans nosotros were able to delineate of import data, allowing us to impress a replica of the T10 vertebrae using plastic printing material," she said. "Once several prints were made nosotros tested the correlation betwixt charge in addition to displacement inwards the inter-vertebral disks past times exactly placing varying forces upon the vertebrae in addition to criterion displacement. We concluded the heavier the load, the larger the full displacement until a plateau was reached."
We wrote nearly the rattling get-go iteration of this experiential bioengineering class inwards Pulse journal end summer.
Below are images from the course.
