Focus on Collaboration
For their sophomore year Biomedical Engineering Principles course, students teamed up with their peers from the School of Nursing, Education and Human Studies to design and build a functional ad inexpensive device that nursing students can use to learn how to locate suitable veins for intravenous insertion. The engineering majors used skills such as programming, circuit design, soldering, computer-aided design, and rapid prototyping in the project, under direction of both engineering and nursing faculty.
The vein finder device project was the turning point of my career at RMU. It helped me develop important skills that I am able to take outside of college.
