UMD Engineering Seniors Improve the World — One Idea at a Time (and more)

UMD at the ASEE 2018 Conference

The 2018 American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference and Exposition will be held June 24–27, 2018, at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The ASEE conference features more than 400 technical sessions, with peer-reviewed papers spanning all disciplines of engineering education. The Clark School’s own engineering innovators will lead two technical sessions.

Conference attendees can also visit the Clark School at booth #807 in the exhibit hall and answer the question: What will YOU build?

UMD Researchers Point to Future of Engineered Immune Tissues

Researchers at the University of Maryland, College Park and Baltimore campuses are working to shed new light on how immune tissues could be designed and implanted to create next-generation vaccines or immunotherapies for a range of diseases, or serve as cutting-edge tools for the early diagnosis of cancers or other illnesses. Their review was published as the cover story in the June print edition of Nature Materials .

UMD Students Innovate Technology to Detect Falls for Seniors, Patients

Student team Symbiont Health, maker of innovative technology to detect falls for seniors and nursing home patients, took home the $15,000 grand prize at the University of Maryland's Pitch Dingman Competition. Their new enhanced medical alert system to help accelerate the response and rescue of elderly persons who fall and lose consciousness is similar to a Wi-Fi router and does require wearable devices, sensors, or pendants.
