Engineering Medical Devices

As we move through the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Career Cluster, our students have been working in teams of two on designing various projects, including: bicep assisting devices, splints, and prosthesis. We are now at the point in the process that we are constructing and testing the designs the student groups created.

S.T.E.M.

Students are now working through the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Career Cluster and are working on designing various medical improvements that would assist body movements, from bicep assisting devices to splints and prosthetics, as well as applicable engineering documentation.

Students heard from various guest speakers in the field as they explored careers in the cluster including:

Rob Steiner, Vice President of Steiner Electric

Tom Calenberg, President of TKC Enterprises

Mark Ediger, Software Engineer for Spaulding Clinical

First Cluster Finale

Students finished up the exploration of their first Career Cluster- Law, Public Safety, Corrections and Security- with court cases which they produced to either prosecute or defend a defendant based on evidence gathered.

Authentic feedback was given by two esteemed guests, Attorney and Governance Council Co-President J. Douglas Fitzgerald of Fitzgerald Law Offices and Ian Prust of O'Meara Law Firm, who served as judges and ruled on objections and case results.
