In the design area, one of the projects undertaken by Matthew Brew, Clif Elliott, David Higgs, Chris Petrocelli, Derek Ruby and Dr. Chandrasekhar Thamire on mobility devices for the physically disabled has been selected as one of the top five projects in the Student Competition at the International Mechanical Engineering Congress of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, among several entries received. Later this year, the team will be competing against teams including those from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Harvard University/Boston VA Medical Center, Cornell University, and State University of New York.
In the heat transfer area, results from a study to the laser treatment of the eye and associated studies of convection by John Fogle, a senior mechanical engineering major, and Dr. Thamire were presented at the Division of Fluid Dynamics of the American Physical Society.
In the biomedical engineering area, a remote-controlled surgical device to control urinary incontinence has been developed by Bonnie Carr, Jason Paugh and Jason Vaughan, all December 2003 graduates, and Dr. Thamire, which will be published and presented soon in a biomedical engineering forum.
In the biofluid mechanics area, results from a research study related to the urinary flow mechanics by Carr and Dr. Thamire will be presented at the Annual Conference of the American Urological Association and published. Carr has been nominated by the University of Maryland, College Park to be the commencement speaker at the University of Maryland’s graduation ceremony and also as the commencement speaker at the engineering graduation ceremony of the A. James Clark School of Engineering at University of Maryland.
