Students create groundbreaking
biomedical devices
Not all of the inventions produced in NC State’s biomedical engineering program
were created by veteran researchers with PhDs.
Many of the inventors are undergraduates, and their creations could become commonplace
in clinics and hospitals all over the world. The top-notch students of the Joint
NC State-UNC Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) continue to break
ground in this relatively new field.

He plays badminton. He rides buses. He blogs. And he helps people on the other
side of the planet.
Donald Katz, a 2007 NC State civil engineering graduate, is living and working
in Bangladesh as a part of the Fulbright Scholar Program. He’s conducting research
on the overcrowded transportation system in Dhaka, the country’s capital.

Entrepreneurial alumnus
drives game business
A fading sign on an old car-repair shop gave NC State alumnus John O’Neill an
idea that changed his life. It said, "spark plugs."
It was soon after seeing those words that O’Neill, a 1996 computer science graduate,
founded Spark Plug Games, a Raleigh company that’s since collaborated on a teaching
game for IBM and is developing products Nintendo’s Wii and other gaming consoles.
