Through a project with Teledyne Electronic Technologies, Dr. Kim is perfecting a device that will provide orthopedic surgeons with detailed schematics of the human knee to help them better diagnose problems. Dr. Kim and his student researchers are creating a device small enough to fit inside a knee implant. They test new designs, run computer simulations, and offer suggestions on how to make the project work. It's an outstanding experience. We consider undergraduate research part of our program.
Students take what they've learned in the classroom and apply it to real situations.
This allows them to bring together the knowledge they've acquired and understand it in a new and more meaningful light. This page last modified June 14, 2000.
