Making a Difference...One Machine at a Time

The Summer Institute is an opportunity for engineering students to gain hands on repair and design experience while simultaneously helping disadvantaged hospitals and patients in a developing nation.

After the one-month training, each student travels to his or her target hospital. Students work repairing and installing badly needed equipment. Whether working on an infusion pump that helps treat a tiny infant, or an ECG that will aid in diagnosing someone's grandfather, each student-engineer makes a difference in patients' lives. The video shows our experience in La Ceiba, Honduras. ENJOY!
