Secrets of their Success
Five bioengineering majors describe the success factors that empowered them to turn their Senior Design project into an award-winning, innovation that could revolutionize hearing-loss diagnostics.
The People Behind the Project
A team of bioengineering undergraduates share how the successes they achieved in redesigning an innovative hearing-loss diagnostic tool were made possible through guidance and mentorship from faculty members and real-world feedback and resources from industry.
From Prototype to Prime-Time
A team of bioengineering students reveal some of the biggest challenges it faced in transforming a hearing-loss diagnostic tool from a 20-pound device to a redesign weighing less than a pound-and-a-half “that people are excited to use.”
A Standout Team
The student team behind an exceptional Senior Design Showcase project used words like “unbelievable” and “family” to describe their experiences working together
