Undergraduate Opportunities
Senior Design
During their senior year, UD engineering students design, build, and test a solution to an engineering challenge defined by an industry sponsor. The Institute for Engineering Driven Health also sponsors some senior design projects relevant to our mission. These projects have been hugely successful, with several generating new technologies and intellectual property that has resulted in licensing opportunities and/or formation of start-up companies.
Clinical Immersion
Clinical immersion is a course that allows students to gain exposure to current clinical practices, identify unmet clinical needs, and consider future career opportunities. Students are matched with local clinical sites to provide a unique opportunity for innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving subject to practical constraints.

Assistive Medical Technologies (AMT) Club
Assistive Medical Technologies (AMT) is an undergraduate student organization through which student volunteers design and build a wide range of assistive technologies for people of all ages, especially children. Students modify toy battery-operated cars, bikes and trikes, and develop custom devices including gait trainers or beach chairs. Through custom technologies, they give families a feeling of independence and foster a supportive community to address the needs of children with mobility restrictions.
