Who are the project partners for Multidisciplinary Engineering Design 1 & 2?

Projects may be chosen from industry, internal JHU research and clinical initiatives, and/or community partners. They will be announced after the start of the course.

Example projects:
(These are not actual projects being proposed for the course.)

1. A clinician at Johns Hopkins hospital asks students to develop a way to passively monitor blood glucose levels in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes.

2. A public health community partner asks students to understand, model, and design a solution to address disease transfer in elementary schools.

3. A sports apparel company asks students to design a way to reduce the core temperature of an athlete during competition.
