Summer 2016 Armour R&D Expo

Have you ever wondered what it takes to develop microphysiological systems, or an organ on chip, to study and test procedures on particular organ systems? Or, hoped there was a device that automates a buildings ventilation systems to ensure optimal indoor air quality based on occupants activities? Undergraduate students at Armour College of Engineering have begun answering these questions alongside their faculty mentors as part of the Armour R&D Program. Learn more about these projects and others the students have been working on during Summer 2016.

Armour College will be hosting the Summer 2016 Armour R&D Expo to showcase the work of the students who participated in Armour R&D during the summer. A poster expo will begin at 1 pm. Refreshments will be provided.

Those attending the Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Ed Kaplan Family Institute for Innovation and Tech Entrepreneurship in Morton Park can take a short walk east after the ceremony to the REC to experience engineering innovation at Armour.
