Upcoming Events
Biological Engineering Department Seminar Series
Conference/Seminar
The BE Department's Seminar Series Speaker, Dr. Rebecca Gerth, Research Sales Engineer at Ripple Neuro, will present: "Going to the Dark Side - Choosing Industry".
February 3rd at 12:30 pm in ENGR 326
Over the last two decades, academic neuroscientists and engineers have dedicated their lives to developing brain-computer interfaces for the restoration of independence in amputees and paralyzed individuals. Ripple Neuro creates neural interfaces and medical devices to advance research and improve the lives of underserved patient populations. Engineers at Ripple work with academic partners, industry leaders, and clinical experts to solve the problems that still limit the translation of brain-computer interfaces. This presentation will highlight one engineer’s decision to transition to industry and the varied opportunities working for a biotech company provides.
A meet and greet with Dr. Gerth will be held immediately following the seminar in ENGR 326.
Biological Engineering Department Seminar Series
Conference/Seminar
The BE Department's Seminar Series Speaker, Dr. Tara Deans, Assistant Professor at University of Utah, will present: "Engineering Stem Cells to Create Novel Delivery Vehicles".
February 10th at 12:30 pm in ENGR 326
Synthetic biology has transformed how cells can be reprogrammed, providing a means to reliably and predictably control cell behavior with the assembly of genetic parts into more complex gene circuits. Using approaches and tools in synthetic biology, we are programming stem cells with novel genetic tools to control genes and pathways that result in changes in stem cell fate decisions, in addition to reprogramming terminally differentiated cells to function as unique therapeutic diagnostic and delivery vehicles.
A meet and greet with Dr. Deans will be held immediately following the seminar in ENGR 326.

Calculator Quick Draw
Student Activities
In the Calculator Quick Draw, five to six contestants will face off in each round. The top two contestants from each round will go on to the final round. There will be three judges (each with their own answer sheet), one judge to note who's hand is raised first, and someone to switch the slides and keep score.
We will host 4-5 qualifying rounds each with 10 questions, the first person to get the right answer to the problem gets a point. The top 2 scoring contestants from each qualifying round will go on to compete in the final round. The top 2 contestants in the final round will win the $50 gift card or $30 gift card respectively.
The questions will be a test of calculator skills like using the solver, built in statistics operations, and also include a lot of parenthesis to test how fast you can type while getting the right syntax.
Any additional questions or concerns? Email activities.ususwe@gmail.com with the subject "Calculator Quick Draw" and we will get back to you
