Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Summer institute program is a two month program that enables student engineers to live in a developing country, learn a new language, and use newly acquired technical skills to improve health care in the community. One month of training is followed by a month of service in a local hospital during which participants install and repair medical equipment, train the staff, take inventory, solve problems and perform other engineering duties.

Activity 3

Student programs include science, technology, engineering & math (stem) kits, chapters and design contest. Stem is a teaching program designed to build the enthusiasm of middle and high school students for learning, to raise awareness of global challenges in health care delivery and to demonstrate through hands-on learning how stem can help solve those global challenges. Kits is an electronic tool that provides cardiac montiors with an electrical wave similar to the human heart's signal. Besides testing, it can also be used to teach health care personnel how to set-up the input parameters of ecg machines. Chapters raise awareness among students about health care challenges in the developing world and provide ways for members to contribute solutions. Design is in the form of projects or competition. The goal of each is to identify health care challenges to the developing world and what new technologies might deliver the most positive impact for patients.
