Component 2 TASK: 1 Disciplines that would benefit this project include, but not limited to, Engineering, Drafting, Biological Sciences, Robotics, and Business. The following is our intended majors: group member: Demetrius Richardson aspires to impact the field of Engineering Group member: April Dawes- aspires to impact the field of Pharmacy Group member: Giorvanni Merilis- aspires to impact the field of Environmental Sciences We can all impact this project because Mr. Merilis and Ms. Dawes have background related to Environmental/Biological sciences due to their intended majors. In addition to, Mr. Richardson’s engineering background will also contribute to this project. First of all, Mr. Richardson will be very useful in the manufacturing of the system due to the Physic classes he’s taken. Secondly, Mr. Merilis can be helpful by adding knowledge gathered from his environmental science classes. Furthermore, Ms. Dawes can bring forth her biological science knowledge to this project in order to help move this assignment towards completion. The ASME or American Society of Mechanical Engineering brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our project with technical support because they are one of the premier Engineering organizations in the nation. They could definitely provide us with the dos and don’ts in a Biological/Engineering project such as our Personal Alert System. The BIO or Biotechnology Industry Organization could help by providing us assistance and necessary advice related to our project. |

TASK: 2 Auburn University http://www.ag.auburn.edu/joint/biosensors/ College of Engineering This program is open to students majoring in Biology, Chemistry, or Engineering. This program will provide the students with hands on experience dealing with biosensor research. The students must attend weekly seminars that will show the students how biosensors can be used. This program is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri http://engineering.wustl.edu/UnderProgBME.aspx Biomedical Engineering Program Currently this program is working on projects such as new treatments for rhythm disorders in the heart, new technology to help physicians be able to recognize tumors, and nanotechnology to tremendously effect cancer treatment. Students leaving this program have been very successful. In order to work with biosensors after graduating from a university a student must major in Biology, Chemistry, or Engineering. A student cannot directly major in biosensor technology. The type of engineering a student might want to choose is biomedical. Biomedical engineering would be very demanding, but would pay off for those who have a deep interest in the material. A Biomedical Engineer would need much knowledge in Biology, Chemistry, Medicine, Physics, Mathematics, and Engineering Science. Many of these students would go on to medical school to further a career in Biosensor Technology. |
