Engineering World Health is very excited to bring together students from a variety of majors and experience levels for our Fall 2022-Spring 2023 design teams! Please see the design projects list to pick your top project ideas, and submit them through this form by midnight Friday, September 30th, 2022. We will plan to have a meeting in early October for design team members to get to know each other and kickstart the brainstorming process.

Benefits

+ Exciting opportunity to contribute to innovative technological solutions to real-world healthcare challenges facing the local community or developing countries.

+ Hands-on design and prototyping experience, which looks great on a resume!

+ Collaborations with students from a variety of engineering majors (biomedical, mechanical, electrical, computer science, and more).

+ Potential to enter into global EWH design competition, with prizes and recognition for winners.

+ Become a member of the U of A EWH community, which plans to host electronic kit building activities, social events, and community service opportunities.

Timeline

The deadline for the group device prototype and report is May 30th, 2023. We plan to have teams meet for about 30 minutes once a week starting in mid October 2022, and members are encouraged to spend some time outside of the weekly meetings brainstorming the project. However, the teams are accommodating to members with varying levels of time availability. The goal is to map out designs and perform CAD modeling in Fall 2022 and hopefully begin to construct physical prototypes in Spring 2023.

Cost

To help cover design team fees and supplies, we plan to request $10 dues from design team members by the end of the Fall 2022 semester. This also covers the dues to be an official EWH member, so you do not need to pay any additional fees to be a member of the chapter.

Phone number (may be needed to add you to specific team GroupMe)

Top choice of design team project (see Google doc project list) *

Second top choice of design team project *

Third top choice of design team project *

Please select the statement you most agree with *

I would be happy with any one of my top three design team choices

I would only be happy with my #1 or # 2 design team choices

I would only be happy with my #1 top choice design team

No preference: I would be happy with any of the design projects on the Google Doc list

Time Availability (teams are accommodating to different levels of time availability) *

I would like a more active role on the projects with 3+ hours per week

I would like to work on the projects around 2 hours per week

I would like to work on the projects around 1 hour per week

I would like to only attend the 30 minute weekly meetings to contribute general ideas in the brainstorming process

Please select the option that you most agree with. Some teams may participate in the global competition, which has specific reporting requirements and projects focused on healthcare in developing nations, while others may choose to work on more open ended or local projects.

I would prefer to be a part of a design team that participates in the global EWH competition (potential for awards, structured submission rules and deadlines)

I would prefer a local or more open ended project that does not participate in the global EWH competition (more freedom in project topic and deadlines; see local impact)

No preference: I would be interested in participating in a design team regardless of whether the final result is entered into a competition (may have banquet to share work at end instead)

Clear selection

Would you be interested in being the leader of your design team? (Team leader preference given to upperclassmen/grad students. Additionally, team leaders should be available at least 2 hours per week for the project.)

Yes

Clear selection

Please briefly describe what you hope to get out of joining the design teams, as well as what you hope to contribute to your team.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or comments! Also, if you have an idea for an additional design project (anything related to healthcare and engineering), please describe it below.
