There was a senior design class I took at JHU in Mechanical Engineering where outside companies and a few individuals would sponsor design projects, some which are similar to this story. In my class one group build a pedal for a bike for someone with a prosthetic leg. It was an amazing class where you were presented a problem, and then you designed and implemented, or created a prototype of, a solution. It was 20 years ago but I would imagine they still have something similar.
- mdo123 9y agoI did the same thing at JHU (albeit only 15 years ago). My project was a pill dispensing machine for a quadriplegic man.
- notlob 9y agoYour experience is standard practice for engineering senior design (sometimes called capstone).
- L_Rahman 9y agoFellow alum here, most engineering majors still have a similar design project as a significant chunk of how they spend senior year. For mine (I was a biomedical engineering undergrad) we built a computational model of the metabolism of HIV drug cocktails are various dosages modulated by factors like age, weight and phase of HIV infection.
