Loyola’s Bold Embrace of Engineering
Universities across the nation are redefining their engineering programs. In Loyola’s case, we are building our program. Read how Loyola’s Jesuit social justice vision is part of the re-imagining of engineering programs. Director Dr. Gail Baura applied social justice to not only the foundation of the new engineering program, but to the specializations. Through biomedical, computer, or environmental engineering, students learn to design high quality medical device software for all patients, to design sensors for the smart grid, or to manage water or wastewater treatment. Read more about this breakthrough work of one of Loyola’s newest programs. READ MORE -

Engineering's Inaugural Class Graduates
Congratulations to our Inaugural Class, the Class of 2019! Our seniors presented their industry-sponsored capstone design projects on April 24, took their finals the following week, and graduated on May 10. We hosted a graduation reception for our seniors and their parents immediately before the Commencement ceremony. At this reception, we presented the first Attoh-Prasse Award to our graduating senior with the highest GPA, Katie Woodhull-Fuget. Congratulations to Katie and all our graduates! -

For the first time in its short history, a Loyola Engineering team submitted its 2023-24 capstone project to the NIH DEBUT (Design by Biomedical Engineering Teams) Challenge competition. Class of 2024 students Lauren David, Dhruv Patel, Leah Smith, Esther Wayntraub, and Elza Wu won the $15,000 HIV/AIDS Prevention and Care Prize. There were 85 applications from 48 universities in 24 states, with 362 students participating altogether. Other DEBUT winners included teams from Stanford, Cornell, and Northwestern Universities.
All Loyola capstone projects are industry-sponsored, and span fall and spring semesters of senior year. The winning project is an Infusion Pump Mobile Application, sponsored by Baxter International. The app integrates seamlessly with the Baxter Novum IQ infusion pump to ensure accurate and efficient drug infusion in the intensive care unit environment. The app provides patient verification, barcode integration, delivery confirmation, real-time infusion progress monitoring, alert and alarm notifications and direct medication order transmission. Intravenous infusions can potentially be used for HIV treatment, including antiretrovirals and broadly neutralizing antibodies.
