S12354: Crash Course in Engineering Superheroes in Splash 2018 (Nov. 17 - 18, 2018)
Most of us know or have heard about people who need new organs--whether it be a heart, a kidney, or a skin graft--and through this, have learned about how difficult (and expensive) it is to attain them. However, doctors, scientists, and engineers are currently on the brink of developing the technology needed to eradicate this problem completely, to the point where we may be able to "upgrade" humans into something like superheroes. In this class, we will talk about current research on and applications of biomedical engineering, and will apply that knowledge in small groups by brainstorming ways to use biomedical engineering to turn ourselves into our favorite superheroes.
