Engineers Without Borders

Dr. Johns Several of the student groups hold monthly meetings with speakers after the normal instruction day or over the noon hour. To help sustain interest pizza and pop are often present. The presentations cover current trends in engineering to give students an introduction to their future careers. In this picture Dr. Johns is giving an update on Materials Science to the ASME chapter.

Objectives: To establish a Bio-medical Materials Research Laboratory (BMRL) to focus on revolutionary approaches to design and manufacture of structures for skeletal disorders and implants.

Uniqueness & Innovation: Direct Laser processing and induction plasma spray processing facilities are being developed for fabrication of nanoscale powders to coatings to bulk structures of metallic and ceramic materials for biomedical applications. Innovation stems from design and fabrication of novel materials for a variety of applications with special emphasis on biomedical needs.

Principal Investigators: Amit Bandyopadhyay, Susmita Bose, Howard Hosick

Partners: WSU School of Biological Sciences Professor, Howard Hosick

Funding Agency: W. M. Keck Foundation
